Gehry Residence, 2012 AIA Twenty-five Year Award Recipient

The Twenty-Five Year Award is conferred on a building that has stood the test of time for 25 to 35 years as an embodiment of architectural excellence. The Gehry Residence -- a seemingly ad hoc collection of raw, workmanlike materials wrapped around an unassuming two-story clapboard bungalow -- found a literal, but unexpected, answer to the question of neighborhood context, and used it to forever re-shape the formal and material boundaries of architecture.

The guy with the old trailer and the trash "yeah but mine is normal". If you do something with money that could be made to look "rich" in the average person's view, but instead you make it look like something else then its regarded as not normal and therefore its seen as adverse. That's what art is all about, its about deviating an object from its original use and making it into something not "useful" in the common view, making it into something that just sits there for its own reasons.
