I can see why you like Frank Gehry so much. I would love to visit the Guggenheim in Bilbao. I didn't think I had seen any of his buildings until reading your post and realising that I stumbled on the Dancing House in Prague a few years ago without knowing what it was.
As for my favourite architect - that's a tough one. While I ponder on that, my favourite building is the National Theatre in London. I never tire of photographing it!
Thank you Larry for the the interesting read, and also the mention.
Your previous post prompted me to watch this programme on Sky Arts about The Vessel last night (https://www.sky.com/watch/channel/sky-arts/the-art-of-architecture/episodes/season-1/episode-4).

Hi Andrew,
I tried to watch the Vessel documentary on Sky, but I was told that te Sky Go app was 'temporarily unavailable'.
The important thing is that you furthered your knowledge on the subject, and I am finding that Substack is great venue for knowledge sharing.
I used Google Earth to look at the National Theatre building in London. I would love to see some of your photos of the site.
Looking forward to hearing from you on your favorite architect.
Indeed, sharing knowledge is one of the best things about Substack.
I have a post in drafts full of photos of the National Theatre. It may see the light of day soon.
I for one would be interested to see that post.
A great photograph provides visual evidence that the importance of place.
Thanks Mr. Wotring, Stanley I presume !
We need photos to remind us where we have been, and where we want to go.
Just call me Stan, lol.
