There is no doubt at all that Gehry's GuggenheimMuseum in Bilbao is one of the most spectacularbuildings of recent years. As the central elementin Bilbao's comprehensive urban renewal programmethe building raised high expectationsfrom the outset. Its site between river, railway,bridge and new town makes it a symbol of theBasque metropolis that can be seen from a considerabledistance. It is both the heart of the cityand a testbed for the arts, representing both publicpresence and artistic change.The process by which it was created demonstratesthe most recent advances in computeraideddesign and in material manufacture. For along time design and building were broken downinto a large number of individual components.Gehry's museum unifies this process and is thusable to create fluent links between architecturaldetail and urban impact.But the innovations do not stop at technology,they also extend to the way in which the interiorspaces are shaped. These are extremely variedin form, as the museum is not so much designedto house a permanent exhibition of the collection,but to enable artists to create installations. In contrastwith the usual neutral gallery spaces Gehryoffers a whole variety of stages for artistic presentation.His artist friends have risen to the challengeof his architecture and are experimentingvery successfully with this new way of showingtheir work to the public.
