Gehry, the achetect behind the Museo Guggenheim in Bilboa, returns to Spain with the Hotel Marqués De Riscal. Nuts. You’d think that this strange modernist hotel would look completely out of place in some small Spanish wine town but I don’t think so. The undulating roof lends itself well to the surrounding moutains (apparetly it’s supposed to resemble wine flowing out of a bottle) and seeing it next to that 15th c. cathedral in the town square doesn’t seem disjointed or awkward but a nice marrying of the different time periods.
