Frank Gehry’s Strategies “How do I get some Sky in there?”

Posted in buildings, public buildings with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on February 28, 2012 by eliinbar

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”.

From arc space.com: 

 –

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….

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

Just as Frank Gehry’s Lou Ruvo Center Looks in the following image….–

Now look at the next image…would you believe this is the same building shown above?

This image is Gehry’s Lou Ruvo Center building  rear façade ,

It looks like a completely different building….

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”….
