Architecture fit for a theme park

Nicolai OUROUSSOFF hit the nail on the head in describing Frank Gehry’s new Ray and Maria Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as “architectural fantasy.” (“Gehry Piles on the Ideas in MIT Design,” May 10) Gehry’s design looks more like it belongs in a theme park than on a city street.

I appreciate that Frank is out there riding point for us on the architectural frontier but I fear what he has created here is going to be viewed the same way we view those blob-type organic structures from the 1960s. They were very hip for their era but do not stand the test of time.
