	Guggenheim Museum Bilbao - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry and opened to the public in 1997, was immediately vaulted to prominence as one of the world's most spectacular buildings in the style of Deconstructivism.
		Also important is while the museum is a spectacular monument from the river, on street level it is quite modest and does not overwhelm its traditional surroundings.
		The museum was opened as part of a revitalization effort for the city of Bilbao and for the Basque Country.

	Guggenheim Museum Bilbao - Hall of Shame \| Project for Public Spaces (PPS)
		Situated prominently on the waterfront near the center of Bilbao, the building interrupts the life of the city, and is an insult to pedestrians who would like to use the space for anything other than gawking at the building.
		While Bilbao as a city may be near the height of civilization and Frank Gehry’s building is an icon serving as a beacon of the city’s status, it also is a public space that shunts the very civilization it is supposed to celebrate.
		The arrogance of the Guggenheim Bilbao and the approach to design and development it portends is an affront to public spaces everywhere.

	Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
		The museum is a long way from his early work, including his own residence in Santa Monica, California, but is indicative of Gehry's development from the 1960's.
		Though the opposite is true, as his past indicates; his inventiveness and exploitation of the latest technology is wide open, as the Guggenheim, Bilbao attracted 2 million people in its first year of existence.
		Much has been written about the Guggenheim Bilabo (enough that it is known by the city it resides in) but the appeal and impact of the building is speechless.

		The burghers of Bilbao, in the heart of politically troubled Basque country, had the vision and the resources to negotiate for this outpost of Tom Krens' ever-growing Guggenheim empire.
		Bilbao has become a place of pilgrimage for architecture buffs and they will not be disappointed.
		Composed of a group of freeflowing volumes that seem to have met in a train crash, the building shows sections of its steel skeleton, but mostly is clothed in tissue-paper thin titanium (from whence the startlingly beautiful effects of reflected light, the source of the welcoming gleam from afar), warm limestone, and glass.

		Last summer, as workers were putting the finishing touches on the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, local booksellers were offering two accounts of how an American-run institution had come to stand in the heart of Basque country.
		The other, El Milagro Guggenheim: Una Ilusion de Alto Riesgo (The Guggenheim miracle: an illusion of high risk), contends that Frank Gehry's fanciful structure, teeming with Modernist masterworks from the museum's New York counterpart, will transform a city better known abroad for its separatist terrorists than its artistic attractions into a new cultural capital.
		And while Krens' reputation is in a sense riding on the museum's success - he has spent years trying to install such a satellite in cities across the globe - the Guggenheim itself won't suffer no matter what happens.

		The latest target of such criticism is the Guggenheim Museum for its exhibition devoted to Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani.
		When the show was announced with much fanfare in the fall of 1999, the museum neglected to mention that it was simultaneously entering into a three-year agreement under which Armani would donate some $15 million to the Guggenheim.
		The fact that the Brooklyn Museum concealed this information was seen as an acknowledgement that the arrangement might at least be perceived as improper.
