The Gehry Effect Revealed at Chelsea's New IAC HQ


Tuesday, December 13, 2005, by Jeremy

It's been too, too long since we last checked up (debris field no more!) on the new IAC/InterActiveCorp headquarters in west Chelsea. Lucky for us we have Curbed fans willing to brave the elements to add some construction snaps to the Flickr pool. No, that curvature you see on the pillars isn't a mistake (we hope), it's just architect Frank Gehry's way of showing he cares. More snow-dappled postmodernism after the jump.
