Description
For the first time, Frank Gehry himself discusses his
latest projects and his extraordinary creative process. With the
completion of the acclaimed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain,
architect Frank O. Gehry has entered the pantheon of twentieth
century-masters. "Gehry Talks: Architecture + Process" documents
Gehry's work from 1988 to the present, tracing his evolution from
a Southern California architect known for his idiosyncratic use
of materials, as well as his collaborations with local artists,
to an international figure who is redefining modernism with his
sculpturally expressionistic work.
This generously illustrated presentation features 36 projects,
including the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, The American
Center in Paris, the Frederick R. Weisman Museum in Minneapolis,
the Conde Nast Cafeteria in New York City, the Bard College Center
for the Performing Arts in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, and, of course,
the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Editor Mildred Friedman and architecture
critic Michael Sorkin provide insightful essays, and Gehry himself
offers extensive and though-provoking commentary on various aspects
of the processes-including his use of advanced computer technology-involved
in his revolutionary designs.
"Gehry Talks: Architecture + Process documents all of his new
work of this decade, tracing his evolution from a southern California
architect known for his idiosyncratic use of materials and collaboration
with local artists, to an international figure whose forms surge
beyond the aesthetic and technical constraints of the twentieth
century."--BOOK JACKET. "This illustrated presentation features
thirty-three projects, including the Chiat-Day Headquarters in
Venice, California; the Team Disneyland... |

 Great
insight into the architectural mind of Gehry
Reviewer:
Matt Margolis from Beverly, Massachusetts April 1, 2000
Frank Gehry's
architecture has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and
one can often wonder "How do those building get built?" well this
book will tell you how the design go from sketches, to models,
to the computer, to the final product... The photos in the book
of models and the computer renderings are incredibly interesting
and help the reader understand what it takes for a Gehry building
to be born. Old, recent, and current projects are featured in
this book. Definately a book worth picking up. |
