This Just In: MIT Sues Frank Gehry
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has has filed a negligence suit against famed architect Frank Gehry for serious design flaws in the Stata Center, a campus building holding labs, offices, classrooms, and meeting rooms. MIT paid Gehry $15 million to design the building, which was completed in 2004, and spent $300 million to build it. The school alleges the flaws in Gehry's design have caused leaks, drainage problems, and mold growing on its brick exterior.
Crave Worthy: Frank Gehry Vases for Tiffany & Co.
Following up on his jewelry collection for Tiffany & Co., famed architect Frank Gehry has created a line of vases for one of the world's best-known jewelers.
Gehry is definitely one of those figures that people either love or hate, and I'm guessing the Frank Gehry collection at Tiffany & Co. will be just as polarizing.
Frank Gehry's Collection For Tiffany & Co.
The latest awesome jewelry collaboration is between renowned architect Frank Gehry and the beloved Tiffany & Co. If you have ever experienced a Frank Gehry building, it is a true transportation to brilliance. I've been lucky enough to travel to the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain.

Tons of Stars Come Out For MOCA's 30th Birthday!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie weren't the only stars who headed out for the MOCA 30th Anniversary Gala in LA on Saturday night. The Jolie-Pitts skipped the red carpet, but there was more than enough star power even without the A-List couple. Kate Bosworth, Eva Mendes and Jessica Alba showed some leg in shorter dresses while Rachel Zoe and Kate Beckinsale stuck with their floor-skimming looks.
How Much Does Your Salon's Appearance Affect You?
Lately I've been seeing descriptions of new salons that emphasize their design elements over the services offered; you'll find out who the architect is before you'll ever know whether they offer manicures. I'm not quite sure why this is happening — maybe with the economy down, salons are looking for ways to distinguish themselves — but it got me thinking: Are you willing to pay extra for a blow-out in that Frank Gehry-designed atrium or to sit in an Eames chair? I like a beautifully curated environment as much as the next person, but if a stylist is good, I'd be happy to get my hair cut in a back alley.

Student Designers Win Corrugated Chair Competition
This year, the fourth annual Chair Affair student design competition asked architecture and package design students from 49 schools throughout North America to create chairs from nothing but corrugated board and glue. After much deliberation, the competition sponsors, American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) and the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation, have chosen six lucky winners. First place went to Cuesta College's Jessica Leung for her Hole on Hole chair, which I must say looks very inspired by the Campana Brothers' Favela Chair.
Fab Flash: Tiffany's Inviting New Store
Its time to throw out that notion of asking before touching in jewelry stores with Tiffany's new store concept. The sophisticated jeweler unveiled its first new concept store in Americana at Brand in Glendale, CA, showcasing its jewels in a fresh new format.

In the News: Redefining an Architect's Legacy
Many of us have seen architect John Lautner's modern, unusual work — we just didn't realize it. The bachelor pad that Charlie's Angels's villain Eric Knox inhabits is based on the design for the Chemosphere. This eight-sided home was built in the Hollywood Hills in 1960, and sits atop a 30-foot-tall concrete poll, which was Lautner's solution to building on the steeply pitched site.
