dr. bill, I think Flatlander was probably referring to Frank Gehry's flowing titanium Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain . . . or the Experience Music Project in Seattle, or his new building in Germany . . .

Gehry designed the Vontz Center for Molecular Science on the UC campus. He wanted to make that titanium too, but the administration had a few budget problems with that. Gehry is bar none the most famous and most successful architect right now. on 60 Minutes Phillip Johnson (the godfather of architecture right now) said that Gehry was better than anyone else in the 20th century, including Frank Lloyd Wright. Gehry said he got his ideas from the folds and contours of a mother's clothing while holding a baby.

Also, my computer is titanium.
