El Peix d'Or Frank Gehry

This guide to Frank Gehry's golden fish sculpture on Barcelona's waterfront opens with a contractor failing six times to bend flat steel into the curve Gehry wanted, with the 1992 Olympics deadline closing in. You'll follow the search inside Gehry's Los Angeles office for an unlikely fix, and meet the engineer they nicknamed the office hippie. Look up at the shifting gold mesh overhead as you listen for how the fish finally got made.
