“In many ways, Frank O. Gehry is to architecture what Jimi Hendrix was to rock music – a wild, original, creative genius with a giddy, international appeal.” So he was the logical choice to design Seattle’s new interactive music museum, the Experience Music Project, which opens to the public in June. Gehry’s colorful, free-form design pays homage to Hendrix, and rock music in general, and was inspired in part by the look and style of electric guitars “which he cut up and used as the basis for the design.” (Story includes timeline of Gehry’s best-known buildings.) – The Guardian
