Do you know how a food disposer works?
60% of American kitchens have one, and food waste disposers are becoming increasingly popular in Italy as well. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?
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.
