Frank O. Gehry, Architect
Frank Owen Gehry (1929- ) has become one of the most celebrated and one of the most criticized architects of our time. He found notoriety in the 1970’s with his cardboard furniture and the renovations to his personal residence (Included in video). The only music that seemed appropriate was Jimi Hendrix.

I think any1 who doesn’t understand what he did is ignorant.
If its truly his creation, than its his individuality.
Its like he’s the Catcher and the Rye & 2 that I would say U R all assholes, b/c 2 attack his creation is 2 attack him as a person.
However, 4 those that get it:
People dont want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown.

Architecture is a sculpture itself. It doesn´t need to be like one of Gehry´s design, that´s just his style…
I think Frank Gehry …
I think Frank Gehry has created a mess. Architecture should not be designed from the outside, and then it function and client are throw in. I don’t believe good architect is designed that way. That;s the problem with Frank, he got it backwards. Good architecture is designed from the inside out.

“Architecture should speak of time and place, but yearn for timelessness.”
Ironic that he didn’t achieve either. He created such a mess in this world.

Its a sculpture thats functional
I <3 Gehry. From …
I <3 Gehry. From what I know about him, it may be true that he’s not that involved with or concerned about the technical aspects of his buildings (you can get away with that when you’re world-renowned), but he is still a design genius. Thanks for the vid!

Sometimes I wonder …
Sometimes I wonder if Gehry’s works can be considered architecture or living sculpture.
mega fashion.. :S

Gehry is a so so architect, that cares more about form then function. I have seen and been in several of his building, they may be appealing and new and fresh on the outside, but they work and function poorly on the inside, Disney Hall for one. Thank God there is little rain in Los Ageles, where I live for the pass nine years, Disney Hall would be a real mess.
I am a trained and licensed Architect for the pass 30 years, so I am not just shooting from the mouth.
Dear BigBoy5604, …
Dear BigBoy5604, you can dislike Gehry’s designs, and you are able to design with your self ideas, but really you have to recognise that Gehry have innovative and plastical designs.

Actually i worked …
Actually i worked in 2 of the 3 O’Gehry buildings in the Media Harbour in Düsseldorf / Germany… the white one on the left, and the silver one in the middle… I really love his style, and his buildings all over the planet. Also, and I think that moment would have been orgasmic for architects, I had the chance to see the construction plans.. really really impressive! Thanks Frank!
I am not trained at …
I am not trained at all in art or architecture, but I really like his buildings. I see your point about building an everlasting structure, but I think he will open a lot of doors (if not imaginations) for younger architects who will have the knowledge to make it work. If I were sinking millions into a new design, as a investor you want to make sure it lasts. I just can’t get over the beauty of these buildings! WOW
I think clients …
I think clients have to expect some problems with new, innovative designs like his. It’s new territory. Even Frank Lloyd Wrights buildings, like Falling Water, have had serious structural, water and construction problems. I would think other issues, like the building reflections and the heat transmitted by the reflective surfaces, would be a bigger concern.
Frank Gehry …
Frank Gehry buildings may look exciting and innovative, yet the construction and technical aspects to put them together well is lacking. That is what makes Frank Gerhy a not so great Architect in my opionion. An “Architect” should know how to design and how the building goes together to insure that the architecture can be everlasting.
