Architectural context

About Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry (born 1929 in Toronto) is the architect most closely identified with Deconstructivism — buildings that appear to be in mid-collapse or mid-explosion, clad in crumpled titanium and fractured surfaces. He received the Pritzker Prize in 1989. The catalogue holds 4 of his works across 3 cities in 2 countries.

The Vitra Design Museum (1989) and Vitra Factory Building in Weil am Rhein were his first European commissions — white stucco volumes colliding at improbable angles. The Guggenheim Museum (1997) in Bilbao, clad in titanium panels that shift colour with the light, transformed a post-industrial city into a global cultural destination. The DZ Bank Building (2001) in Berlin hides a freeform stainless-steel conference hall behind a conventional stone-and-glass street facade — Gehry's response to the city's strict building regulations.
