DESIGN STYLE

"Every building is by its very nature a sculpture. You can't help it.Sculpture is a three-dimensional object and so is a building.

Frank O. Gehry

I approach each building as a sculptural object, a spatialcontainer, a space with light and air, a response to context andappropriateness of feeling and spirit. To this container, thissculpture, the user begins his baggage, his program, andinteracts with it to accommodate his needs. If he cant do that,Ive failed.

Frank O. Gehry

In spite of changes in Gehrys design over the years,his approach to a building as a sculpture retains.

DESIGN STYLE

Gehrys architecture has undergone a marked evolutionfrom the plywood and corrugated-metal vernacular of hisearly works to the distorted but pristine concrete of his

later works. However, the works retain a deconstructedaesthetic that fits well with the increasingly disjointedculture to which they belong.

Most recently, Gehry has combined sensuous curvingforms with complex deconstructive massing, achieving

significant new results.
