@WorldScholar_ I suppose you could make an argument for timeless... Gehry's work isn't "trendy" which is the opposite of timeless, it just isn't traditional either, which I suppose is what people think timeless really means.

Let's explore some of his most famous creations. 🧵👇

@archi_tradition Love this list of cities where old and new blend seamlessly. Your inclusion of Rome is perfect, for me, the Eternal City exemplifies this concept.

@WorldScholar_ Quite impressive wood joinery that has stood the test of time! I like this detail view of the shingles. Like the skin of a Viking dragon.

@CultureExploreX Sublime restaurant settings!
Outdoor dining in Spring is the absolute best. This setting in Lisbon on Rua Nova do Carvalho, known as the "Pink Street", is such a vibe.

@JeremyTate41 I can see why it made Hopkins stop the car, it is beautiful.
For me, the campus of the University of Oxford in England is one of the most beautiful universities.

This one in Hvar, Croatia is also pretty incredible, adjacent to the Adriatic Sea.
