"...soon after its completion in spring 2004, the center's outdoor amphitheater began to crack due to drainage problems, the suit says. Snow and ice cascaded dangerously from window boxes and other projecting roof areas, blocking emergency exits and damaging other parts of the building, according to the suit. Mold grew on the center's brick exterior, the suit says, and there were persistent leaks throughout the building."
Oops.
Oops.

So sorry to read this, I love his buildings

Isn't that part of the risk involved in creating something that unconventional? I hardly view that as negligence. However I didn't pay Frank $15,000,000 to make me a building either.....

I think Gehry is looked at with a fair deal of skepticism these days. For sure, his work is entirely his own, but the lack of structural integrity does speak to the practicality of his designs.
