Drawing was Frank Gehry's way of "thinking aloud" as a master architect. Tracing this part of Gehry's creative process through 32 major projects, both built and unbuilt, this volume features more than 900 illustrations.

Gehry Draws

J. Fiona Ragheb

New Lower Price This book, the catalogue to the first large-scale retrospective of Frank Gehry's work in 15 years, examines the Los Angeles-based architect's unique vision and audacious accomplishments. "Frank Gehry, Architect" presents nearly 40 of Gehry's most significant works, from his earliest residential projects, including the 1977-78 transformation of his own Santa Monica residence--in which he used chain-link fencing, asphalt flooring and corrugated sheet metal to effectively build a house around an existing house--through his most recent public buildings worldwide. Among these, his best-known completed project is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, an architectural marvel of limestone, glass and titanium that brought Gehry international renown. This book provides the career-long perspective with which to interpret Gehry's recent work, such as the Nationale-Nederlanden Building in Prague, the Experience Music Project in Seattle and the DG Bank Building in Berlin, as well as a host of major projects currently in progress, including the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Ray and Maria Stata Center at MIT. Gehry's experiments with furniture design have been complementary to his architectural endeavors, and this book also looks at his celebrated cardboard furniture, bentwood furniture and playful lamps made from Colorcore.

Archaeology of the Digital

Coosje van Bruggen

No building was more anticipated than Frank Gehry's stunning new museum in Bilbao, an industrial city in the Basque Country of northern Spain. Philip Johnson, the dean of American architects, declared it "the greatest building of our time," while Sverre Fehn, winner of the 1997 Pritzker Architecture Prize, called the building "fantastic." Gehry's use of nontraditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments of his buildings is legendary; his method of envisioning a building through semiautomatic drawings and handmade models is little known, but provides an immediate entry into his creative process. This book celebrates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details its design process, bringing to life one of Gehry's greatest achievements. Coosje van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she uncovers scores of fascinating drawings and working photographs, published here for the first time.

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

No building has been more anticipated than Frank Gehry's stunning new Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, an industrial city in the Basque country of northern Spain. In a cover story for the New York Times Magazine, Herbert Muschamp wrote of it, "The word is out that miracles still occur", while Sverre Fehn, winner of the 1997 Pritzker Architecture Prize (Gehry received the award in 1989), stated, "This building is fantastic". This book celebrates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details the design process that is an intrinsic part of Gehry's revolutionary approach to architecture. Gehry's use of nontraditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments of his buildings are legendary; his method of envisioning a building through semiautomatic drawings and handmade models is little known but provides an immediate entry into his creative process. Here, stunning color photographs of the building and reproductions of Gehry's drawings and models bring to life his greatest achievement to date. Art historian and artist Coosje Van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she has uncovered scores of fascinating drawings and working photographs, which are published here for the first time.
