FRANK GEHRY'S CLOUD COMPLEX DEFLATED

PARIS— Frank Gehry is an architect who is used to getting his way, so he's not merely miffed by a French judge's revocation of building permit for his planned museum for LVMH billionaire Bernard Arnault's contemporary art collection — he's "appalled, shocked, and angry," he told French fellow starchitect Jean Nouvel. The extent of Gehry's pique is one of several choice tidbits from an outspoken interview that Nouvel gave to French newspaper Journal du Dimanche in a campaign to defend Gehry's project against Parisian "philistines" who have succeeded in derailing it, at least temporarily, after it started to rise in the Bois de Boulogne park on the western outskirts of Paris.
