Frank
O. Gehry: The Complete Works
"Ever since his wildly dramatic Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain,
opened in 1997, Frank Gehry has been widely and justifiably considered the
leading architect of our time. Although this ascension occurred seemingly
overnight, it actually took more than half a century, counting architecture
school and work in eight other offices before he opened his own firm in
1962. Since then, Gehry's designs have become increasingly freer and more
inventive. Gehry's architecture is an art that involves great risk taking,
and while not every design succeeds fully, his courage is exemplary and
his batting average is surprisingly high." Amazon.com |
