gehry3 nationale-nedderlanden prague
The Nationale Nederlanden or The Dancing building or Fred and Ginger or the Rasin are all names for one of my favorite buildings: the architect is Frank Gehry b. Poland 1929. The building is in Prague, and I was lucky enough to see it (albeit only from a distance).

The building has been likened to the movements of a pair of dancers (Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers). Indeed, the building does have a kind of playful movement to it: the windows, placed at different levels, seem to bounce!
More on Gehry later….
