The art you cannot avoid
Architecture, writes Lange, “is the art you cannot avoid” and it carries a burden that the other arts don’t — it must reconcile aesthetics and ideas with user functionality. A painting or a novel need only please or provoke its audience; it doesn’t then also require setbacks, parking minimums and LEED certification. Fewer of us are affected — or even in regular contact with the other arts — while all of us are inextricably connected to the built environment.

So we ask: Do you have a question we can pass along to Frank Gehry? Tell us w/ a reblog or on Twitter w/ hashtag #AskFrank. (via newsweek)
