If anybody is watching in 2021, he is 92 years old this year. This was filmed 20 years ago. Amazing how time goes by.
Frank Gehry took a profession that has a tremendous amount of stress and has made it fun for himself. I never met him but I have seen many interviews. i will bet he is a great person to work for. Not like any of the sweatshop large architectural firms in the country. I left a large architectural firm, and went into business from myself at 3 years old. It is the best thing I ever did. My friends who remained as project managers are no longer alive, the stress killed them all.
I’m not choosing a team/side here. We need more architects like these that have left a mark on society. I must admit I’ve always been a huge FLW fan but that does not mean I see others in a negative light.
I learned his name when I was in Minnesota Sculpture garden where a giant fish sculpture amazed me so much. I stood there appreciating it and did not want to leave.
Whether you like his buildings or not, and I myself think they are incredible, he is in fact a genius and most importantly a very nice gentle human.
This is incredible. What an absolutely wonderful look at the process of how Projects see the light of day. Profoundly beautiful. Thank you Frank!
If I like them I will do it. “This has always been my philosophy. If you don’t think you will like your client, do NOT take on the project. There is one great part of the AIA contract, is the ability to terminate the project. after 4,000 projects I have terminated my relationship with the client only twice.
I love the end... "ok" (i.e. "what the fuck?"). This is the guy who is basically I think calling out the bullshit of these bourgeoisie bastards, but with his buildings. Parodying their pompousness and almost blackhole-like ability to suck ALL THE CASH up among 5-10 people while everyone else is crying and starving. His buildings are a statement of what is to come. Chaos is born from the fact that at the end of the day, all you can buy with enormous wealth is an object that rapes, destroys, and breaks all the laws of ethics, (slinging dick like Mr. Rose loved to do), simply because you can. His buildings are a view to the top from below, though the lens of poverty and ethnic division. If you admire Gehry, it must be for this reason, that he trespassed this modern day caste system and wrote a diary of it in every brick and sheet of metal.
gehry is great :) love you frank!
Frank Gehry couldn't carry Frank Lloyd Wright's jockstrap ...
Stop it
God, so much fluff from this dude.
He's terrible. Frank Lloyd Wright was exceptional
It's the Frank part that throws people
Frank Gehry is a gimmick artist at best. F.L.Wright Pooped things that look better than Gehry's best.
Frank Lloyd Wright was the PT Barnum of 20th century architecture.
what a completely untrue thing to say.
very interesting that his detractors are never specific about why his architecture is not good. I suspect it is because of prudery more than architecture.
@@jirik2435 How about dicey engineering. Odd construction materials and building techniques. Leaking roofs. Copper in cement radiant heating. Also the cost of attending and the abuse of students at his "school". The man was a con-artist.
@@stuglenn1112 Most of that was because he was trying out things not tried before. The concepts such as radiant heating and others have not been disproved.
@@jirik2435 The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans knew in antiquity that things like cantilevers, as used in Falling Waters were a bad idea. Additionally the engineering behind the cantilevers was nothing short of abysmal. Wright was warned of this from multiple sources and poo-poo'd them. It was well known in Wright's time that copper and concrete didn't get along. I could go on and on. On top of that any examination of Wright's personal life shows he was a rotten human being.
