Method to the madness

At first glance, you would assume this building looks like a completely random array of metal and glass. Well if you did, you would be completely right. As Gehry said himself "The randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light".

This building is in Bilbao, Spain; a port town. The natural contures and curves are also designed to look like a ship. This is an example of how Gehry builds to fit the environment.
