Stitching Wood: Lissoni’s Latest Creation
Part of Listone Giordano’s Natural Genius collection, Nui is a series inspired by an ancient Japanese technique.
As well as technical data regarding the project and photographs of the inside and outside taken from Gehry’s models, the site includes a video of the building works and images from a web camera situated on the roof of the Mather memorial Building, which looks directly onto the construction site across Bellflower Road. Every five minutes a new image appears which offers a view of a what is both a new important American building as well as being something of a homage to Gehry; the site also includes useful links for visiting another five monumental works by the American architect.
