Gehry is undoubtedly one of the group of archjtects who gets invited to piych for those high profile jobs especially from cities trying to boost toourism.
Whether his popularity turns him into The Beatles or The Partridge Family remains to be seen.
Personally I think he merely took postmodernism in a different dirction and is fast becoming a one trick pony but then a lot of people are... and that's still one trick more than most of us pit ponies have!
He's also at least as much a stylist as an architect as judging from the film footage, discussion of the external appearance seems detached from concerns about the interior although some comments about The Disney Concert Hall seemed to contradict that.
I thought the Disney Ice building, which I had not seen before, was quite lovely.
Perhaps like Michael Graves, Disney is his true calling.
