California Aerospace Museum: Frank Gehry: Architecture in Detail

By James Steele

Frank Gehry's work has been described as habitable sculpture. He is widely acknowledged as the father of the Los Angeles School. Characterized by their collage-like complexity, their shifts in geometry and frequent use of utilitarian materials, Gehry's buildings blur the fine line that separates art and architecture. Recent work includes the widely acclaimed Vitra Design Museum at Wein am Rhein in Germany, and the bizarre Fishdance restaurant in Kobe, Japan.
