    In fact, the other Gehry project is very close to this OCAD building... New horizon for architecture for Toronto?

    Architects have built an exhibition centre in the shape of a piano and a violin in China.

    The giant musical instruments stand in a new section of Huainan city, Anhui province, reports People's Daily.
    The main part of the building is shaped like a piano. On its side leans a transparent violin, which contains the entrance and staircase.

    It is currently being used to display information about the new section of the city to help attract interest in the area.

    Hmm true and keeping all those typhons in mind in the region it might not the best idea to be hang around in that violin part too long.
