The enormous amounts of press given to the Disney Concert
Hall in Los Angeles, California can be attributed to various
reasons, including the lengthy design and construction process
and the concomitant financial concerns, the architect's stardom
and his success in Bilbao, and the Hall's family name and
its associations. With each of these newsworthy items, the
design takes second stage, especially since its inception
occurred in 1987, before the design for the Guggenheim and
other buildings since completed. In relation to his other
work it will be seen out of order, though it will be judged
on its aesthetics, its acoustics and as a product of one of
the world's leading architects.
