The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.
Frank Gehry
Image

There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
Frank Gehry
Image
Everyone has a desire, if not a need, to use their individual signatures. Whenever people meet to talk about a project, even stuffy old businessmen, they say they want to create something new.
Frank Gehry
Image
Everything - design and technology and materials - has changed since the World Trade Center was built. A lot of it has to do with computers, which allow us to be far more efficient as well as structurally sound.
Frank Gehry
Image
When you agree to collaborate, you agree to jump off a cliff holding hands with everyone, hoping the resourcefulness of each will insure that you all land on your feet.
Frank Gehry
Image
An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
