Frank Gehry

Famed architect Frank Gehry, one of the most influential figures of the last century, has died today at the age of 96. The news was confirmed by his chief of staff, Meaghan Lloyd.

Gehry became known worldwide for his modern style and experimental approach, with works that challenged traditional architectural conventions. His international breakthrough came in 1997 with the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, a titanium structure that became a symbol of modernism and urban revitalization, a phenomenon later dubbed the "Bilbao Effect."

Born in Toronto in 1929, he moved to Los Angeles as a teenager and studied architecture at the University of California, and then at Harvard. Early in his career, he was noted for his use of irregular forms, unfinished materials, and structures that resembled sculptures more than buildings, a style that later came to be identified as deconstructivism (a modern architectural movement that eschews symmetry).

Gehry was one of the first architects to use advanced 3D modeling, technology commonly used in the aerospace industry, to shape buildings with complex curves.

In 1989, he was awarded the most prestigious architecture award, the Pritzker Prize, where he was praised for his "sophisticated aesthetics and bold artistic spirit."

His unpredictable style brought praise and criticism in equal measure, but it always attracted attention. He personally embraced this. "At least they're watching," he once said of the critics.

Authors, architects and world leaders paid tribute to his legacy today. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called Gehry “an unparalleled visionary,” while the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao released a video tribute saying his “spirit and legacy will forever be connected to the city.”

Frank Gehry is survived by his wife, Berta Isabel Aguilera, two daughters from his first marriage, and two sons from his second marriage.
