Frank Gehry Commenting on the Importance of his New Web-based Design Software
This video shows an interview with the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry. He is internationally well known and his buildings even his private residence, have become tourist attractions. His works are treated as being among the most important works of contemporary architecture. Vanity Fair Magazine labels him as “the most important architect of our age”. Much of Gehry’s work falls within the style of Deconstructivism, which is often referred to as post-structuralist in nature for its ability to go beyond current modalities of structural definition. Gehry is a Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council and also a recipient of many architectural awards including Pritzker Prize, National Medal of Arts and AIA Gold Medal. Gehry’s best-known works include the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; MIT Stata Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts; Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles; Experience Music Project in Seattle; Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis and Dancing House in Prague. During this interview, Gehry comments on the importance of his new web-based design software. Gerhy hopes the software will streamline the design and permitting process for owners, developers, architects, engineers, general contractors, and fabricators.
