What started with an odd desired geometric expression, an itch to take out what his (Frank Gehry ) mind could think of, and with the strokes of his sketches that might seem unclear standing there in Reality, Are of it starts to line up. There has always been this censpkone policy /rules that differentiate the artist and the architect. The free willingness of producing work might be justified for the former one. and becomes a question of iconism For The latter. But these unimaginable dreams have come to both of them. Why is it that when an architect produces them it is also associated with the term " Artist "? Frank Gehry is one of the " Architects " who has expressed this unconventional form into reality. But something to notice is that the Functionality of the project is never sacrificed. Which is the actual Role of an architect I feel. Delivering needs and functions. with the freedom of expressing and not terming it as " ego ". Isn't Following the herd also an ego of not being criticized as different? The back and forth of planning and modeling & modeling 40 times more to just make it right, itself is the sign of giving respect To the work. His work might be a nightmare for some but it's undoubtedly a drop of the jaw to see it and experience it. It's not the restrictions of construction driving him but the passion of finding new solutions to the desired outcome that is so iconic about Frank Gehry. Be it in terms of material, like the glass building or the Fish scales, be it color of the 0h " isn't it too much " red titanium or be it the codes of allowing sunlight into the office and thus making the Floor out of glass. He has the insight to make things work. With the ability to wonder, draw and model and the Aid of technologies that allow it to happen, it's good to see a break in the skyline with an oddly shaped building popping out. The immortality of these structures is the reflection of the limitless imagination of the mind of an Architect just like the reflection of water on the metallic curves of the Bilbao Museum.
" IF it's not ✗ and is (✗ - 1) or Cx -11 ) they think it's not architecture anymore " - Frank Gehry.
