As I was driving out to the Amador Causeway last week, I was taken aback by the progress on the new Bridge of Life Biodiversity Museum that is rising out of the ground in an explosion of steel. Panamanian officials selected world-famous architect Frank Gehry, best-known for his titanium deconstructivist Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, to design the structure, hoping for a level of instant international recognition. Apparently, it has been getting a lot of interest even though it is not scheduled to open until 2010 and the museum is providing small-group tours to students and professionals to learn about the unique construction process.
I love the name of the museum. As the isthmus connecting two giant continents, Panama has incredible biodiversity. Can’t wait to go in 2010!
