A wonderful book, 8 Feb 2003
By "enzion" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frank O.Gehry: The Art of Architecture (Guggenheim Museum Publications) (Hardcover)
I just want to begin this review by saying that this book is a need for any architect's library. The book Frank Gehry, Architect, provides a wealth of knowledge about the architect as well as the structures that he has created over time. Most pages in this book (and there are many) contain full color pictures, sketches, or descriptions about the structure and the architect. This book spans from Gehry's earliest projects to project underdevelopment. Projects range from structures to furniture, and even to art (sculpture like stuff). An aspect that I like most about this book is seeing Gehry develop his ideas and hone his craft. I should also add that this book also contains several models that were created for structures. I think this is essential because it allows beginning architects a chance to see effective model building techniques as well as different ways to convey a feeling which is essential for effective communication with a client. Overall, I would highly recommend this book for all architects and students.

DEFINITIVE GEHRY, 25 Oct 2006
By Shannon Deason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frank Gehry, Architect: The Art of Architecture (Guggenheim Museum Publications) (Paperback)
Well done survey of Gehry's work by Gehry himself, as such, the text is highly informative and the images show his work in its best light. Gehry is without question one of the most influential architects working today, and though I would not necessarily call me a worshiper of his work, im more of a richard meier, santiago calatrava kinda guy, I do respect his awesome talent and his contributions to the field of architecture. If you have any interest at all in Gehry or architecture in general, then I highly recommend you added this to you library.

Recomended for all creative minds, 3 Jan 2007
By S. Downes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frank Gehry, Architect: The Art of Architecture (Guggenheim Museum Publications) (Paperback)
A wonderful exploration into the thought and work process of creative artist and his team. Frank Gehry is to architecture what Dale Chihuly is to glass.
