More quotes by Frank Gehry
In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.
Frank Gehry
I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope.
Frank Gehry
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you're the only expert.
Frank Gehry
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
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
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
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
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
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
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
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
Frank Gehry
The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder in all arenas, political and sociological. I think we have to work in the present even if it's awkward, even if it's not necessarily good, even if we don't understand it ourselves. You only find out 10, maybe 20 years later what was going on.
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
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
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me.
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
Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
Frank Gehry
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
Frank Gehry
There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.
Frank Gehry
