This building may look like a bunch of colorful tents collapsed, but this is actually an ecology museum. An early project for Gehry in Latin America. The bright colors are not part of his usual style, and yet he chose to honor the requests of Panamanian politicians to make it more colorful and thus better fit the rich culture and style of Panama.
