We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
Frank Gehry
Image
One of my unsung heroes is Erich Mendelsohn. I met him when I was a student and he was a cranky old man and very unpleasant. But if you go to his Einstein Tower in Potsdam, Germany you see an enormous intellect at work with a language that was personal and new. It has a sense of urban design and of theater and procession I hadn't seen before.

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.

You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
Frank Gehry
Image
Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction. Everybody’s an artist. Unfortunately we don’t treat them as such.

I don't know whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.

The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.

People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
