The Panama Biomuseum by Canadian Architect Frank Gehry: His Legacy Reaches Far Beyond his Buildings
Architect Frank Gehry is pictured at the Canada’s Walk of Fame in Toronto. Architect Lukasz Kos and critic Alex Bozikovic remember Gehry’s influence on people and culture at large.
Internationally-renowned architect Frank Gehry died on Friday, Dec. 5, at age 96. The Canadian-born architect had a distinctly unconventional and daring style. He designed some of the most recognizable buildings of the last half-century, from Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Today on Commotion, architect and designer Lukasz Kos as well as architecture critic Alex Bozikovic join host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to talk about Gehry’s improbable path to global stardom, how his love of the arts showed up in buildings that were works of art on their own, and what the next generation of architects will learn from him.
