Frank O Gehry

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”

*Vanity Fair –monthly magazine of US

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).

DeconstructivismHis Architectural style…

“Disassembly of the building components and reassembly in a new way is inherent in the style”

Let’s talk about some of his master piece…

Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao – Spain

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.

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)

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.

By wrapping the perimeter of the lot with construction materials and

leaving the original house as it was, Gehry created a new space between

the lots lines and the old house.

Construction cost $130 million (plus $110 million for parking garage)

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

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.
