Philip Johnson once said that a great architect might see one in 10 of his designs built. At a lecture on Thursday, two years to the day after his last speech at Yale, Frank Gehry chose to focus on the unbuilt nine. “Last time I was here, I showed everything I’d done since my bar mitzvah,” Gehry quipped to a standing-room-only crowd at the Yale University Art Gallery on Thursday. “But what never got built is interesting, too.”

This was just about the best lecture I've seen at this school.

Miracle-worker? Unless he walks on water, you people really need to rein it in sometimes...

Hasn't had another museum since Bilbao? What does he call the Experience Music Project in Seattle?
