Architect Frank Gehry has been handed bad news with the good lately. The good: he was recently named the recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 11th Venice Architecture Biennale. The board commended Gehry for his formal experimentation, saying that he had "transformed modern architecture" and "liberated it from the confines of the 'box' and the constraints of common building practices." The bad: Gehry's technology building at the University of Iowa has been completely flooded, while his proposed research building at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design, mired in a funding controversy, has been put on hold.
