Abstract

This article focuses on the architectural career and legacy of Frank Gehry, a globally renowned architect who designed over 70 buildings, including homes, museums, and concert halls, during a six-decade career. Gehry was known for his innovative use of materials, such as titanium in the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and for repurposing technology like French airplane design software to create complex geometries inspired by natural forms. Despite his global impact, Gehry maintained a modest personal demeanor and emphasized practicality, delivering projects on time and on budget. His work is characterized by a distinctive, playful style he described as "structural jazz," which challenged conventional modernism while responding to real-life complexity and urban contexts.
