GUGGENHEIM,BILBAO:

Guggenheim Bilbao, this museum has a crazy funky exterior which will draw your attention even though you hav seen it a million times already. The curves on the building have been designed to appear random. The architect has been quoted as saying that "the randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light"…..and the play of light is simply awestriking on the exterior…The structure consists of radically sculpted, organic contours…although it looks crazy from outside I wonder how it would be to actually feel the spaces??? would it be equally crazy?

Sited as it is in a port town, it is intended to resemble a ship. Its brilliantly reflective titanium panels resemble fish scales, echoing the other organic life (and, in particular, fish-like) forms that recur commonly in Gehry's designs, as well as the river Nervión upon which the museum sits.

Computer simulations of the building's structure made it feasible to build shapes that architects of earlier eras would have found nearly impossible to construct. It is also important to note that while the museum is a spectacular monument from the river, at street level it is quite modest and does not overwhelm its traditional surroundings, this is amusing for a museum as it would intrest any onlooker to go ahead and check out the museum ,as, if it were so amusing from the outside it would definitly house some of the greatest art of all time.
