A building? No, a work of art.

The Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago’s Millennium Park is designed by famed architect Frank Gehry. I really don’t care for Gehry’s work – to me it tends to look like wadded up aluminum foil. But, he’s famous and I’m not, so there you go.

I do like this, the structure to hold up sound and lighting equipment. It spans a grassy lawn, where concert-goers can listen to some music. (Monday, June 17, 2013: Daniel Lanois)

(Also: the Pavilion’s bandshell was too tall for the building height restrictions, so the City of Chicago classified it as a “work of art” rather than as a “building.” That seems about right, I guess.)
