Frank Gehry is a renowned Canadian-American architect known for his innovative deconstructivist designs. Some of his most famous works include the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, which helped revitalize the city through its distinctive titanium cladding and irregular forms. The Gehry House in Santa Monica employed corrugated metal, wood, and chain-link fencing to wrap around and expand an existing home. The Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, praised for its acoustics, features a vineyard-style seating configuration within wood-paneled walls and a Douglas fir ceiling. Gehry's organic, sculptural designs break from strict grids and push architectural boundaries through unconventional shapes and materials.

his work cited as being among the most important
works of contemporary architecture in 2010,
which led Vanity Fair to label him as “the most
important architect of our age”

3. It is an architectural movement or style influenced by deconstruction that
encourages radical freedom of form and the open manifestation of complexity in a
building rather than strict attention to functional concerns and conventional design
elements (as right angles or grids).
Deconstructivism
His Architectural style…
“Disassembly of the building components and reassembly in a new way is
inherent in the style”

9. Let’s talk about
some of his master
piece…

10. Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
– Spain

12. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao building represents a
magnificent example of the most ground-breaking 20th-
century architecture. With site area of 32,500 m2 , of
which 11,000 m2 area dedicated to exhibition space, the
Museum represents an architectural landmark of
audacious configuration and innovating design,
providing a seductive backdrop for the art exhibited in
it.
Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao – Spain

13. Space Distribution
With a total 24,000 m2 (260,000 sq ft), of which
11,000 m2 (120,000 sq ft) are dedicated to
exhibition space, it had more exhibition space
than the three Guggenheim collections in New
York and Venice combined at that time. The
11,000 m2 of exhibition space are distributed
over nineteen galleries, ten of which follow a
classic orthogonal plan that can be identified
from the exterior by their stone finishes. The
remaining nine galleries are irregularly shaped
and can be identified from the outside by their
swirling organic forms and titanium cladding.
The largest gallery measures 30 meters wide and
130 meters long (98 ft × 427 ft)

41. Criticism
As every building faces criticism so as Guggenheim Museum did. Art critic Brian
O‘ Doherty criticized the museum's interior effect, saying "Once you get indoors
things are a little different. Even the so-called site-specific works didn't look too
happy to me. Most of the interior spaces are too vast." He went on to describe how
works by Braque, Picasso and Rodchenko “ looked absurd" and tiny on the
museum's walls.

57. General information
Location 111 South Grand Avenue
Los Angeles, California U.S.A.
Coordinates 34°03′19″N 118°15′00″W
Public transit Civic Center/Grand Park
(Regional Connector future)
Owner Los Angeles Music Center
Type Concert hall
Seating type Reserved
Capacity 2,265
Built 1999–2003
Opened October 24, 2003
Construction cost $130 million (plus $110 million for parking garage)

58. Disney Concert Hall
The hall is in a vineyard seating configuration, similar to the
Berliner Philharmonie by Hans Scharoun.
Lillian Disney made an initial gift of $50 million in 1987 to build
a performance venue as a gift to the people of Los Angeles and
a tribute to Walt Disney's devotion to the arts and to the city.
The Frank Gehry-designed building opened on October 24,
2003.
Performers and critics agreed that it was well worth this extra
time taken by the time the hall opened to the public.[5] During
the summer rehearsals a few hundred VIPs were invited to sit in
including donors, board members and journalists. Writing about
these rehearsals, Los Angeles Times

59. The walls and ceiling of the hall are finished with Douglas-fir while
the floor is finished with oak. Columbia Showcase & Cabinet Co. Inc.,
based in Sun Valley, CA, produced all of the ceiling panels, wall
panels and architectural woodwork for the main auditorium and
lobbies. The Hall's reverberation time is approximately 2.2 seconds
unoccupied and 2.0 seconds occupied.
After the construction, modifications were made to the
Founders Room exterior; while most of the building's exterior
was designed with stainless steel given a matte finish, the
Founders Room and Children's Amphitheater were designed
with highly polished mirror-like panels. The reflective qualities of
the surface were amplified by the concave sections of the
Founders Room walls. Some residents of the neighboring
condominiums suffered glare caused by sunlight that was
reflected off these surfaces and concentrated in a manner
similar to a parabolic mirror.
