Frank+Gehry

===__Frank Gehry__**:** (Frank Owen Goldberg) is a very well-known architect born in Toronto in 1929. He has won many awards throughout his career including the prestigious Pritzker Prize. Many of his buildings, including his own personal residence have become tourist attractions due to the unique style in which they are built. This style is known to many as [|deconstructivism] which is essentially going beyond the original use and context of the work. His own house, in Santa Monica, California, fits this description well due to the fact that it looks nothing like its original build. One of his most famous buildings is the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. This museum is made almost completely of titanium, limestone and glass in large, random curves. Gehry describes these random curves as designed to catch the light. Through all the buildings, awards and achievements Frank Gehry can certainly be considered one of the great architects of this common era.
