In Celebration of a Visionary Architect Frank Gehry

A figure who consistently redefined the boundaries of the discipline, Gehry leaves behind a body of work that altered not only skylines, but the very language of architectural expression. Over a career spanning more than six decades, the Canadian-born architect challenged convention with relentless curiosity, reshaping global perceptions of form, material, and meaning in the built environment.

Gehry’s architecture resisted categorisation. At a time when modernism’s rigid frameworks still dominated, he pursued an approach rooted in movement, intuition, and experimentation. His buildings appear in flux—folded, fractured, and fluid—yet they remain deeply considered in their spatial and experiential intent. More than objects, they function as inhabitable sculptures, animated by light, materiality, and human presence.
