Frank Gehry Does Domestic Architecture,
By
This review is from: Frank Gehry: The Houses (Hardcover)
Gehry's a world-class architect renowned for his curvilinear buildings
and splashy, dramatic museums and concert halls. Early in his career he designed many private one and two-family residences, and it is these smaller projects that are the subject of Friedman's book. The author does not merely produce plans, photos and analysis of these residential works, but includes interviews with homeowners (including the maestro architect himself about his ideas for his own house) and Gehry's associate, Greg Walsh. One gains insight into how Gehry would envision and change his architectural ideas and experiments with various materials during construction. The projects sometimes involved quite ordinary building materials, like chain link fencing, asphalt shingles and plywood, used as decorative elements, and it is intriguing to read how homeowners react to Gehry's design and materials suggestions before and after their implementation.
