OK so there is this architectural piece around my area that reminds me a little bit of Chicago every time I see it; namely the Jay Pritzker Pavilion aka Pritzker Music Pavilion. For those who haven’t a clue as to what I am referring to, here’s a lil lesson:

Frank Gehry, winner of the National Medal of Art, applied his signature style to this revolutionary outdoor concert venue, located in Chicago’s Millenium Park. The Pavilion stands 120-feet high, with a billowing headdress of brushed stainless steel ribbons that frame the stage opening and connect to an overhead trellis of crisscrossing steel pipes. The trellis supports the sound system, which spans the 4,000 fixed seats and the Great Lawn, which accommodates an additional 7,000 people.

My flicks:

And thennnnn there’s this contraption near the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum in Pudong area of Shanghai:

It is totally random and I can’t seem to find the proper English name of the thing for the life of me. But! I learned that it is basically a steel structure of a sundial… I’m sure there is some historical significance of the thing, but unfortunately I can’t share that with ya’ll just yet.. because, frankly, I haven’t a clue!

So, while not so much a performance venue, but the design itself has a bit of resemblance. Anyway, it’s late; I’m tired, so be happy with my random gibberish and flicks! Yours Truly~~~~ :-)
