Image
The idealism [in architecture] is in the formal arrangement, the relationship to the city, the use of materials that are available to me. That's where I say our powers are limited.
Frank Gehry
Image
If you're serious about being an architect, you've got to learn how to take responsibility. It's not fluff. You have to do every detail on every bloody piece of the building. You have to know how the engineering works. You have to know how the fittings go together. You have to master the mechanical, electrical, acoustical - everything.
Frank Gehry
Image
If the room is friendly to a relationship between lecturer and audience, you feel everything - the tension, the appreciation. I think the audience feels it too.
Frank Gehry
Image
A well-designed home has to be very comfortable. I can't stand the aesthetes, the minimal thing. I can't live that way. My home has to be filled with stuff - mostly paintings, sculpture, my fish lamps, cardboard furniture, lots of books.

Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.
Frank Gehry
Image
Your work may be great and not make its way into the big picture... like Van Gogh... so who's to say what's good and bad?
Frank Gehry
Image
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
Frank Gehry
Image
The whole can be greater than the sum of it's parts, that we all have something to put in the pie to make it better, and that the collaborative interaction works.

Image
China is building cities for a 20 to 40 percent increase in population. India is quickly growing. The carbon footprints of that and other development around the world are overwhelming.
Frank Gehry
Image
I am obsessed with architecture. It is true, I am restless, trying to find myself as an architect, and how best to contribute in this world filled with contradiction, disparity, and inequality, even passion and opportunity.
Frank Gehry
Image
People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
Frank Gehry
Image
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
Frank Gehry
Image
I can't just decide myself what's being built. Someone decides what they want, then I work for them.
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.
Frank Gehry
Image
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
Frank Gehry
Image
Erich Mendelsohn's drawings are expressive and beautiful. If he'd had the computers we have now, everything I've done he would have done before me. I would have had to figure out something else.
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
I think my best skill as an architect is the achievement of hand-to-eye coordination. I am able to transfer a sketch into a model into the building.
Frank Gehry
Image
I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.
Frank Gehry
Image
I work from the inside out.
