Newest building by Frank Gehry, Brighton waterfront development


Frank Gehry's newest building proposal of Brighton waterfront development, is waiting for decision to be build after fierce debate in Brittain about whether this building is good enough to be there. It is said from the contras that the building is 'out of context', while the pros said that this is the great dream of a genius.

This building is a $650-million residential and recreation complex, with the form inspired by 'flowing dresses' of victorian women 'promenading along the seafront', and is inteded to strengthen Brighton's heritage.

"I've got this picture of the maidens in their floating dresses in Brighton on the wall of my office," he said in a 2005 interview. "It's a kind of inspiration and the towers now do look as if they relate to that." Said Gehry.
