Product Description

Synopsis
This is a celebration of the architecture of Frank O. Gehry's Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. It details the design process that is an intrinsic part of Gehry's revolutionary approach: his use of non-traditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments of his buildings, his method of envisaging a building through semi-automatic drawings and hand-made models. The book documents the history of Museum from conception, and through design and construction. The author, an art historian and artist who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, had access to the architect and his studio. The text is accompanied by colour photographs of the building and reproductions of Gehry's drawings and models.

5.0 out of 5 stars best images, good for researching Gehry's design process, 26 Jan 1999
By A Customer
this is a great book for students and professionals alike. It takes an indepth look at the design process and how such an abstract building is created in the real world.

Congratulations specially to the photografer! For those who haven't seen the museum, when they see this book, they will certainly visit it. For those who have seen the museum but don't know the book: buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gehry's Most..., 3 Sep 1998
By A Customer
For those who feel moved by Gehry's work, this is the most comprehensive process of what goes behind of a masterful creator. The qualities of pictures describe ambiance as a mere basis of a created coherence of exteriors and interiors, It depicts clearly that light executes shape in space.

A daring manage of form that pushes further the preceding works. This project is Frank Gehry's imagination-execution ultimate that will be a challenge to overcome.
