Frank Gehry Finally Catches a Break, Lands Eisenhower Memorial Project

After a rough couple of weeks with leaky buildings, loose tongues, and buildings chopped in half, starchitect Frank Gehry finally had something go right for him this week with the announcement that he’d been selected for the commission to build the national memorial to Dwight Eisenhower in Washington DC, his first project there. According to the Washington Post, he’ll have full reign over the roughly four acre site and a budget somewhere between $90 and $120 million (meaning it’ll likely end up in the $200 million ballpark).
