This may be an unpopular style of architecture. But in the overall scheme of things, it is an achievement. Almost an architectural movement, or at least a subgenre of postmodernism. Someone has to do this kind of stuff — otherwise, architecture will not have so many variations as we have today. This is actually good for the advancement of architecture. Kudos to the persistence of the architect and the audacity of the client.
PS: I'm not a fan of this style though.

If the building goes up, I'm afraid he will make that impossible.

All Gehry seems to have done is to rehash some old and now rather tired ideas and flung them together haphazardly. I love some of his buildings but this is hackneyed. I suppose UTS wanted an international name to promote themselves, and it's unequivocally a Gehry-brand product they've got, so it will fulfill its purpose. It's a shame as there are so many talented Australian architects, including UTS graduates such as Peter Davidson (LAB) and Ian Moore, who no doubt would have made a bit more effort and come up with something better and more original if they'd been given the chance
