A design monograph on architect Frank Gehry.
A design monograph series on the most remarkable architects, designers,
brands and design movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries,
each book contains a historical-critical essay discussing the life and
work of the subject, followed by an illustrated appreciation of
groundbreaking work.
Frank Gehry transformed contemporary architecture with his
innovative use, and range, of materials and forms, from mass-produced
items to titanium and 3D computer modelling. Remarkable, surprising, and
revealing a sense of flow and movement, his buildings curve, bend and
collapse in unexpected ways. From his most famous masterpiece, the
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, to his Dancing House in Prague and the
twisting Luma Arles Tower, his experimental shapes inspire awe and
wonder.
