Yeah, I don't believe that either. The member's lounge was originally planned to go in behind the new restaurant. I think they just wanted a bigger dining area and just bumped the member's lounge to the only space left that wasn't already programmed as gallery space. I don't think the AGO really...

There seems to be a lot of complaints about the tacked on nature of this building. That is not going to change because that is Gehry's aesthetic--he likes assemblages that are light and barely held together. The Guggenheim at Bilbao is like that with it's discrete forms playing off each other...
