Since the 17th century, they are called splines like a line but sp before sp, splines.

And this is now Gehry's signature style-- the style of a fish, because of the spline modeling software

They generalized the mathematical notation into something called NURBS, Non-Uniform Rational B-splines-- which in school of engineering is an acronym meant to stand

for architectural purposes. And he went on building the same kind of spliney fishy curves all over the world.

They use cheaper, simpler, crappier software, who include some of the same spline modeling tools

In fact, I used a natural cubic because that had an even more flowing feel to it than a B-Spline would.
