Day 69 of the 100 Day Studio: ‘I went over the hill and saw it shining there. I thought: ‘What the fuck have I done to these people?’ Frank Gehry, on viewing his own Guggenheim Bilbao.
It was the biggest architecture story of 1997. But in the UK something even more dramatic was happening, with unlikely, and profound effects on architecture. This talk by Eddie Blake looks at the unlikely links between Gehry, the election of Blair, and the death of Diana.
