IAC Building. “The square-riggerish IAC Building is Frank Gehry’s only work inspired by a Monty Python song, according to Earle’s text. As a boy growing up in landlocked Albania, I always wondered: What did happen to the accountant’s’ office when it sailed off the edge of the earth in Accountancy Shanty? Was it smashed to bits? Did it disappear into a void?” Gehry mused. “I like to believe that it landed on a desolate, sandy plain, a vision I’m so glad IAC shares”. Gehry is currently working on an architectural adaptation of that scene in The Meaning of Life when the fat man explodes”. (Photo by Anton Repponen/The Guardian)
