Frank Gehry Discovers He Has a Leak Problem in Another Building
Unless it’s just another ill-conceived art project run afoul, like that pipe bomb hoax there from a couple years back, Frank Gehry must be suffering some deja vu as it’s being reported that his newly opened Art Gallery of Ontario is leaking, much like his troublesome Stata Center at MIT, which led the starchitect into a lawsuit even. This time, things aren’t so bad just yet, with only the windows steaming up and a few drips here and there coming into the building. Gehry’s people are blaming it on “faulty panes of glass” and the “natural ‘setting’ process of all buildings in their first year.” None of which seemed to put the Art Gallery staff much at ease, nor did it stop people from noticing a few suspicious placements here and there:
On Tuesday, a reporter found three buckets catching water on the central stairway that wriggles its way from the second floor of Walker Court up to the fifth-floor contemporary gallery. One bucket was three quarters full and catching a steady drip. The winding flat banisters were occasionally draped with small towels absorbing drips, and in two places, a small amount of water was pooling on the banisters unattended.
It gets worse from there.
