The "I Have An Idea" exhibition allows one to look into the mind of architect Frank Gehry until Feb. 7 at the 21_21 Design Sight in Roppongi.

Gehry is a Canadian-born architecture whose unconventional techniques have led to buildings all over the world. The common point at the exhibition: the buildings' designs are full of movement and are some of the craziest designs for a buildings I have ever witnessed. If you're into exploring how designs transform from their most basic scribbles to models to the real thing, then this exhibition is for you. If you missed the event, please enjoy these photos.
