Also known as the ugliest building in Seattle.

Haha its not ugly.. its uber cool !

Hm. Nah, it's pretty ugly.

It looks like a psychodelic sneeze.

I heard once it ewas suppoused to look like a smashed guitar or something, if that's true, I think it failed miserably.

it looks more like a bunch of unidentifiable objects with film strips on it. either way its really ugly to me( but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.......)

the purple section is an allusion to jimi hendrix's "purple haze".

I remember when it was first built, there were a million rumors floating around about what it was supposed to look like. Most of them said that you had to be at the top of the Space Needle to see it - an ear, a smashed guitar, I don't remember what else.. Its been about 7 or 8 years now, and I think its become generally accepted that its not anything. Frank Gehry was just being cocky and thinking that he could draw up anything and people would think it was genius. No, Frank, its not. Its a three dimensional scribble. Seattle was not fooled.
