Frank Gehry
Frank Gehry
Frank Owen Gehry a contemporary architect that was born in Toronto, Canada in 1929. His parents were from Poland, and they were who started to motivate Gehry with small pieces of art, and even his grandmother Mrs.Caplan worked with him wheh he was young doing all these kind of structures made of wood as well as the grandfather who used to has a hardware store where Gehry spent many days experimenting with the steal pieces and another materials that inspired himself to create great structures on the future.
In 1947 he moved to California where he got a job as a trucker, and he started to study at Los Angeles City College. After he graduate from the Architecture college he stayed out of the field for several years doing other jobs such as serving in the United States Army.
The style that define Frank Gehry is called Deconstructivism but what exactly that concept means? “in architecture, also called deconstruction, is a development of postmodern architecture that began in the late 1980s. It is characterized by ideas of fragmentation, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structure's surface or skin, non-rectilinear shapes which serve to distort and dislocate some of the elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance of buildings that exhibit the many deconstructivist "styles" is characterized by a stimulating unpredictability and a controlled chaos” (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.).
The buildings of Frank Gehry most of the time are controversial no matter in what city they are, for the reason that the structures do no seem to belong to the area. Even though he is not the only one doing these kind curvy shapes with titanium and steal on the outside walls nowadays you can tell that’s a Ghery’s building just by knowing the style of him.
Some of his remarkable works of architecture are the Stata Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, The Dancing House in Prague,
