Seeing through New Eyes

Wow, this is definitely seeing through "new eyes". How could Frank Gehry ever conceive of a structure so "out of this world"? It is amazing to see in person. I never thought an inanimate object could be photogenic, but this creation is.

Did you know?

* The Hall contains 12,500 pieces of primary steel, which weigh over 11,000 tons

* A 750 pound crane was needed to erect the steel support structure

* 300 tons of bolts and welds were used

* 18,000 cubic yards of concrete were poured, including two roof slabs 15 inches thick
