A visit to Frank Gehry's Fish, Yellow Line, L4 Ciutadella

Peix (Pez), Frank Gehry

 This is what is known as a 'folly' - a structure that does not have a particular practical purpose - something between a sculpture and a building. The large fish was designed to glimmer and twinkle, like a fish moving under water.



. The building works well from far away - it can be seen from all of the way down the beach. Once you arrive however you discover the golden fish is hollow - a shock for some true architect lovers.
Frank Gehry also designed the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. And for those who love their celebrity gossip, he is a close friend of Brad Pitt!
