Long Description:
Frank Gehry designed this building and it was constructed in 1993. It could be said to be a prototype for his Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain constructed in 1997 and characteristic of his late century signature style.
From the river front, the building is comprised of strange geometric forms and covered in bright, stainless-steel. From the University-facing side, it presents a more conservative brick surface.
City, State or City, Country: Minneapolis, MN
