...didn't want to create a pseudo-classical hall for classical music," says Gehry. What he created was a classical hall for an anticlassical city. In Bilbao, his curves make you think of the Spanish baroque. In L.A., they bring to mind all those magic wands in Disney sketching silver arcs in the air. Even before it opened, the building was becoming the iconographic symbol of a city that until now has had to make do with a big Hollywood sign.
