A Constructive Madness

Watched the Jeffery Kipnis film "A Constructive Madness" during our Theory class this afternoon. Fasinating documentary (in the Hollywood style) about the Lewis residence that Gehry spent years designing without ever being constructed. Shows how a special client can make an architect take their work to a higher level.

Particular references that deserve further exploration:
Harmonisation in J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations as a metaphor for describing the process of refining the Lewis residence.
Les Pleurants - beautiful folded costumes that inspired the 'Horses head'
