More quotes by Frank Gehry
As much as we pretend otherwise, we want what's comfortable, and we're afraid of the different. We're afraid of change.
Frank Gehry
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
Frank Gehry
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
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.
Frank Gehry
In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.
Frank Gehry
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
Frank Gehry
You have freedom, so you have to make choices - and at the point when I make a choice, the building starts to look like a Frank Gehry building. It's a signature.
Frank Gehry
I'm going to design the container and interior spaces. You bring your own stuff to it and make it your own.
Frank Gehry
Some cultures tried to stop people from expressing themselves. In Mao's China, for example, the Communists tried to stop individual expression. For them the payoff was a society of equality. The problem of course is that it didn't work.
Frank Gehry
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
Frank Gehry
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
When people condemn me for designing iconic buildings in cities and not having an idea what a city is, they haven't done their homework. I started in urban design and city planning. It's just that when I got out of school there wasn't much of a market for that. There still isn't.
Frank Gehry
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
Frank Gehry
The safety requirements, which are necessary, spread everything out and push people farther and farther away from the stage and from each other.
Frank Gehry
I used to sketch - that's the way I thought out loud. Then they made a book of my sketches, and I got self-conscious, so now I don't do it much.
Frank Gehry
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
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
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Frank Gehry
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.
Frank Gehry
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
