Frank Gehry
Image
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
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
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
Frank Gehry

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
Image
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
Image
The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.
Frank Gehry
