An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
Frank Gehry

If I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do it.
Frank Gehry
Image
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.

Frank Gehry
Image
I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.

The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder in all arenas, political and sociological. I think we have to work in the present even if it's awkward, even if it's not necessarily good, even if we don't understand it ourselves. You only find out 10, maybe 20 years later what was going on.

I work from the inside out.

Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry

Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
Frank Gehry
Image
We're physiologically wired differently.
Frank Gehry
Image
I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.
Frank Gehry
Image
Just because you are an architect and make decent buildings does not mean that you can suddenly become a set designer for one of the best avant-garde dancers in the world.
Frank Gehry
Image
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
Frank Gehry
Image
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
Frank Gehry
Image
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
Frank Gehry
Image
Many people put a green button on their collar and feel good, just like a lot of people put an American flag on their lapels and feel patriotic. It's not enough.I'm not dismissing it.
Frank Gehry
Image
Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.
