Frank Gehry has been the creative genius behind many of the most recognizable buildings in the world. Vanity Fair has labelled him as “the most important architect of our age” and many of his buildings, including his own residence, have become world-famous tourist attractions. His contemporary designs are highly imaginative and eye-catching, making his buildings some of the most memorable. His best-known works include the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Guggenheim Museum in Spain, and the Dancing House in Prague just to name a few.

Gehry’s work is inspiring, to say the least. His buildings all have a personality of their own and defy common aesthetics. Enjoy this small selection of some of Frank Gehry’s most impressive and inspiring works…

Concept art for the Ocean Avenue Project, one of Gehry’s most recent commissions, illustrates his stunning ability to make buildings appear as though they are in motion.

The Norton House was designed for his friends Lynn and William Norton and is one of the most eccentric of his designs, using everyday materials to sculpt it.

At the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Galeria Italia interior boasts some incredible wood architecture and views of the city.

The stairway at the Gallery of Ontario is a stunning, flowing piece of architecture that catches your eye from the start.

Reflective steel surfaces and curvature create an immersive environment at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, where the walls appear to move with the music.

This building is literally called the Dancing House of Prague because it looks as though it is in motion like many of Gehry’s designs.

The Chiat/Day advertising agency makes a big statement and stands out from the crowd, as they hope their ads do, with this unique building.

The new Foundation Louis Vuitton museum in Paris looks like waves, reflecting the blue sky in the steel panels.

Frank Gehry’s new teaching and research facility at Sydney’s University of Technology is an inspiring place to learn with an incredible feast of architecture both inside and out.

Another angle at the teaching and research facility shows a design Gehry says was inspired by a treehouse.

Frank Gehry is a true visionary that continues to inspire artists and creative minds with his innovative perspective.
