Frank Gehry’s proposed design for a new bridge in Chicago has run head-on into the city’s most prominent architecture critic – Mayor Daley. “I’ve designed 10 new ones since I heard he doesn’t like it,” Gehry says. “The bridge flap is the latest example of Daley’s involvement in aesthetic issues that other mayors typically delegate to aides. Daley personally reviews major building projects, and his passion for beautification has resulted in a string of initiatives – fountains, flowers, trees and median planter boxes – that make both the city and the mayor look good.” – Chicago Tribune
