Case Western Reserve University’s Peter B. Lewis Building, the Frank Gehry-designed home of the Weatherhead School of Management, recently made critic James Howard Kunstler’s Eyesore of the Month list. “If your dog had a tumor like this,” writes Kunstler, “the vets would just shake their heads and put him to sleep.” (HT: Max Goss)

Normally, I’m a huge Gehry fan. But I am an even huger fan of “form follows function” in architecture. While the undulating curves of a Gehry may be interesting for a contemporary art museum, I am not sure how they enhance the environment for teaching and reasarch on management.

Eye sore? What do you mean? The building is lauded by many, many management scholars (I believe there was a JMI special issue on the building, and also a management book written about it). And, how can one judge – one man’s eye sore is another’s master piece.

I’m not nuts about the building, but Kunstler’s opposition is one argument for embracing it.
