New Gehry Concert Hall Prison in Springfield
In case you missed it, Frank Gehry was a special guest voice on yesterday's new episode of "The Simpsons." In brief: Marge writes him a letter requesting that he design a new concert hall in Springfield. (Here we see a special appearance by the Gehry House) He denies her request, crumples up the letter and throws it away. Aha! Inspiration strikes! We see the crumpled paper transform into a model for a new $30 million concert hall! "Frank Gehry you've done it again!" The structure is built: a regular, orthagonal, gridded steel sytem? How can this be a Frank Gehry building?!? wait for it.... Cue the wrecking balls, which literally beat the structure into shape! Voila! A finer concert hall has never been built! Unfortunately, it soon becomes a maximum security prison, but you'll just have to catch the rerun to see why!

I thought this was hilarious! The only other architect that would have been ripe for this mockery would have been Phillip Johnson!
