Frank Gehry has many monumental works. One of which is the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. This is an extraordinary titanium covered building. He has also done the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota, which was completed in 1990. The Walt Disney Concert Hall was another major accomplishment. The space is designed to have an orchestra and a gallery.
Frank has also created the Dancing House, which is an office building in downtown Prague, Czech Republic. This building was built from 1994-1996. The style was a non-traditional design and was controversial but stood out. There is a French restaurant on the roof, which gives beautiful views of the city.
Frank Gehry is a distinguished Professor of Architecture at Columbia University in NYC and also teaches at Yale University. He is considered a modern architect icon and celebrity. He has many works in progress, like the Atlantic Yards in NYC, Performing Arts Complex at the World Trade Center, Beekman Tower in NYC, and The Grand Avenue Project in Los Angeles, California, just to name a few.
Frank Gehry now in his mid seventies and has made a difference across the seas and is still planning to make a change. Frank Gehry’s post modernist architectural style is very unique and personal and has changed how we look at architectural design.
