Blog post #2 - due Tuesday, July 25

Dear students,

You have listened to the lecture about Frank Gehry, as well as the discussion among 4 students. Now, listen again and answer the questions that follow:

1. Yhinny says that Frank Gehry's buildings are all over the world. What is her point?
2. Michael suggests that someone like fRank Gehry should use his skills in practical ways like designing bridges rather than for designing aesthetically pleasing buildings. Do you agree?
3. Some say Frank Gehry doesn't pay enough attention to the environment. Would these students agree with this criticism? Would you?

Since this is supposed to be a discussion, please react to each other's comments ( for full credit).

Thanks,
Diana
