Place to see: Chiat/Day Building, Venice, California, United States
Funky in Venice
One of the craziest buildings I have ever seen... and of course it's Frank Gehry's creation!
About this place:
The Chiat/Day Office Building is located on Main Street in Venice, four blocks from the Pacific Ocean. This building was designed by Frank Gehry. The 75,000 square foot, three-story office space was designed specifically for the use of Chiat/Day advertising agency as its West Coast Corporate Headquarters.
However, the most spectacular design element are three-storey high binoculars designed by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The binoculars contain space for private conferencing and research and are tied into the main client conference room. Each cylinder is topped by one skylight oculus.
