This is not a fresh news but i think it is still a hot issue because related to the famous Frank Gehry architect. As reported by nytimes.com last week, Frank Gehry has been sued by M.I.T due the design and construction failures of Stata Center (pictured). The failure delivering various problem that have required high cost maintenance. But according to Frank Gehry, the construction problems were inevitable in the design of complex buildings.
“These things are complicated,” Gehry said, “and they involved a lot of people, and you never quite know where they went wrong. A building goes together with seven billion pieces of connective tissue. The chances of it getting done ever without something colliding or some misstep are small.”
