...home of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, is an eye-catcher that's also suited to its purpose. Architect Frank Gehry crafted the exterior in the warped-metal style he made famous with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. Gehry designed the interior to mimic real-world business environments. An oval classroom is reminiscent of a corporate conference room. The classrooms are interspersed among faculty offices and meeting areas so the "bosses" and the "workers" can bump into one another. The school also boasts a high-speed computer network with ports...
...daily life." Monasticism may seem an odd inspiration for a building as central to the larger community as a cathedral, but it's key to this one, a high-walled enclosure in ocher concrete with a minimum of window or entryway cuts in its lower half.

Their Huelva Bus Station is representative of their spare geometry; it has an aerial outline of a triangular segment cut out of a circle. On two sides the exterior follows that contour, but on the third, the exterior wall curves inwards to create a fluid curve out of an originally straight line. As vehicles enter the terminal, they follow a twisted path around a static circle spoked by bus bays for arrivals and departures. As a result, the building...
