More quotes by Frank Gehry
There are a great many things about architecture that are hidden from the untrained eye.
Frank Gehry
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.
Frank Gehry
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
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
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
Frank Gehry
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
Frank Gehry
You have to be optimistic. I still have doubts and conflicts, but the bottom line is, I believe in the future.
Frank Gehry
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry
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
Look, architecture has a lot of places to hide behind, a lot of excuses. The client made me do this. The city made me do this. Oh, the budget. I don't believe that anymore.
Frank Gehry
Man, there's another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I'm interested in.
Frank Gehry
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
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 you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
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
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry
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
There's a drive in us to express ourselves in some way or form. We pick up whatever material is available. It's primitive. Kids see sand on the beach, build something and show their parents: Look what I did, Mama. It's necessary to us.
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
My father always told me that I was going to be a failure - I think he was more talking about himself, but I didn't know it at the time.
