It was never-say-never time inside the swooping spaces of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, where Frank Gehry was on hand for the first public viewing of models of the $1.8 billion Grand Avenue project, with the Related Cos. as the developer, in downtown Los Angeles. The champion of stand-alone, sculptural architecture had delivered a surprisingly down-to-earth and practical scheme for the immense mixed-use program, to be built across the street from Gehry's own Concert Hall. While not entirely free of awkward details, and few projects covering nearly three city blocks would be problem-free at this early stage of design, the Gehry scheme acknowledges the constraints of both urbanism and commercial development.
