Frank O. Gehry, Titan of Architecture, Is Dead at 96
He burst onto the scene with an attention-getting renovation of his Southern California home before going on to design some of the world’s most recognizable buildings.
Mr. Gehry, one of the first architects to grasp the liberating potential of computer design, went on to create a host of other celebrated buildings — many of them widely regarded as masterpieces — that in their sculptural bravura and visceral power matched or even surpassed the Baroque architecture of the 17th century.

Renowned architect Frank Gehry has passed away at the age of 96.
One of the world's most iconic architects, Gehry crafted cultural landmarks around the world, pioneering new approaches in parametric design that fundamentally changed modern practice. The 1989 Pritzker Prize Winner was also famous for his outspoken personality, challenging the profession to push boundaries and develop radical new ways to enhance the built environment. Architizer will explore his legacy in the coming weeks, and celebrate the unparalleled impact Gehry has had on architecture over the past half century.
In an interview with Architizer in 2023, Gehry was asked: "If you could give one piece of advice to the next generation of architects, what would it be?"
His answer spoke volumes:
"Be curious and work hard. Whatever you do, do your very best at it."

The New York Review of Books
Ingrid Rowland casts a skeptical eye on a new biography of architect Frank Gehry, in which “his inveterate self-image as ‘a do-gooder, liberal to the core’ does ceaseless battle with a career conspicuously devoted to the service of wealth and celebrity. We hear again and again what a great friend Frank is to everyone he meets, but cannot help noting that his road to Olympus is littered with the bodies of associates, friends, and projects that ‘didn’t work out.’”
