Learning from Frank Gehry ….Chapter 5, dealing with economic reality?….

Eliinbar’s Sketchbook 2011 – Frank Gehry dealing with economic reality

If you will be asked, how does look, a typical Frank Gehry‘s building. Most of us will agree that they look very sculptural.

It looks like this building is a demo to Gehry’s ultimate strategy implemented in many of his projects  

I suppose that Gehry developed this “strategy” to deal with the high construction budget needed to built his sculptural Buildings ….

What did I learn from this post?

1.Frank Gehry does not give up his desire for creativity and uniqueness .

2.He designs buildings with effective floor plans.

3.Gehry develops tools (Codex rules), and uses his architect skills to  design buildings directed budget. 

4.I do not always identify with the result of his “strategy”….
