The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York has a rather large book on the
museum which includes many images of the construction of the Frank Lloyd
Wright landmark building.  I wouldn't be surprised if there is a similar
book about the construction of the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim Museo
Bilbao.  The Art Institute of Chicago probably has a book of the same ilk -
I have several postcards from the AIC shop depicting the construction
process of the building.   There is also a book on the Pyramid by IM Pei -
the new addition to the Louvre.

Good luck.
