"Frank Gehry has pushed the conventions of architecture to their limits. His work is inimitable - ignoring straight lines and traditional methods in favour of dramatic curves and unusual materials. The result is an architecture that is daring, energetic, and utterly unique. Among his many masterpieces are the Vitra Museum in Germany, the California Aerospace Museum, the Schnabel House and Bilbao's magnificent new Guggenheim Museum, in addition to these are Gehry's numerous furniture designs." "With over 50 illustrations, this book is a tribute to the work of this highly imaginative and original architect who continues to make waves throughout the architectural and design world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
