Some believe that Frank Gehry's buildings are just spasms of his imagination as he throws crumbled pieces of paper at the floor. I believe that Frank Gehry is one of the key players in new age architecture. His buildings push the limits of construction science and our imagination. One of my favorite buildings of his is the Guggenheim Museum seen here. The point of the sloping planes on the exterior of the building is to catch the light in an interesting manor to enhance the the atheistic value. 
I think we all need to learn from Frank Gehry and to step outside of our comfort zones. Another building that pulls our attention is of course the Walt Disney Concert Hall seen here. His dramatic slopes of the exterior echo the drama that takes place inside.
