From eliinbar’s sketchbook 2012 – Frank Gehry’s Strategies
–
Frank Gehry was asked. “How do you get some sky to your buildings?” And his answer was “I don’t know what I do, I just “punch” a few holes here and there and….. somehow they end up being in the right place”.

In this post I will try to learn from Frank Gehry what are his varied -strategies to get “some sky” into his buildings….
Notice that Gehry puts “sky” into his buildings rather than “open holes in walls” to let light and air penetrate his buildings”.
I will cover only a small part of Gehry’s variety of strategies.
To be continued in my next posts….
