Imagine the global landscape without the extraordinary architecture of Frank Gehry—Bilbao without the shimmering curves of his Guggenheim Museum … Los Angeles without the cubist masterpiece that is Walt Disney Hall ... Paris without the twelve “sails” of the Fondation Louis Vuitton, and countless others—more than the buildings would be missing.
Frank Gehry has spent over half a century reimagining the possibilities of design within architecture, combining mastery and whimsy, earning the most coveted awards in his field, and adding spectacular enchantment to our world. Gehry discusses his life and work with Pulitzer Prize-winning architecture critic, and author of Building Art: The Life and Work of Frank Gehry, Paul Goldberger. They talk about Gehry’s early career in LA and Paris in the 1960s, his iconic cardboard furniture line and the visionary high-concept buildings that have made him—and continue to make him —the world’s most celebrated and influential architect.
