Gehry + color
BioMuseo (Museum of Biodiversity) in Panama, designed by Frank Gehry. The architect departs from his usual metallic color scheme and adds bold red, golden yellow and cobalt blue panels that reflect the tropical environment. The exhibits, designed in consultation with scientists at the nearby Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, portray the history of the isthmus and the species it engendered.
