FRANK O. GEHRY

His celebrated Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao has ensured Frank Gehry a place in the pantheon of 20th-century masters. In this volume, Gehry himself offers illuminating commentaries on various aspects of the processes involved in developing his revolutionary designs, including his influences, clients, use of materials and new technologies. This is a document of a decade of Gehry's work, from 1988 to 1998, tracing his evolution from a southern California architect known for his idiosyncratic use of materials to an internationally known figure. The book features 33 of Gehry's most renowned projects, influding the Vitra Furniture Museum and Factory in Weil am Rhein, Germany, the Entertainment Centre at Disneyland Paris, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
