Over the 25 years that I’ve worked with Frank, we’ve built many, many buildings – at least 25. We’ve designed furniture; we’ve even done two opera sets and are in the process of doing a third. We love music and we love to do buildings about music. I’d been an architect for 13 years before I started working for him, so I had a lot of commercial experience.

I think the most interesting part of this project for us was that we had never done a building in London before. We had looked at projects in London quite a bit, but have never been able to hook up in the right way. This seemed like the right opportunity to enter the competition to design Phase 3. We really like to do residential buildings because it’s about a relationship – it’s about creating a situation in which people live. That is interesting to us. CW I agree, it’s been a big deal to do the project in London. We’ve been waiting for that, so it’s fantastic to be part of it, also because London is a very, very interesting city. It has a certain edginess that we also have in LA, although people often compare LA with Berlin and New York with London, but I think there are a lot of things that you find between LA and London that you can learn from.

  • The Fondation Louis Vuitton
    THE FONDATION LOUIS VUITTON A new ambition for LVMH's corporate patronage Created by the LVMH group and its Maisons in 2006 on the initiative of Bernard Arnault, the Fondation Louis Vuitton forms part of the art and culture patronage programme developed by the group for over twenty years. It also marks a new step driven by a renewed ambition: – A lasting commitment with the desire to become firmly rooted in a particular place and bring an institution to life over the long term. – A major philanthropic gesture towards the city of Paris with the construction of an exceptional building on municipal state property and the signature of a 55-year occupancy agreement with Paris city council. Driven by a desire to work for the common good, the Fondation Louis Vuitton demonstrates a clear commitment to contemporary art and looks to make it accessible to as many people as possible. To foster the creation of contemporary art on a national and international scale, the Fondation Louis Vuitton calls on a permanent collection, commissions from artists, temporary modern and contemporary art exhibitions and multidisciplinary events. One of its priorities is to fulfil an educational role, especially among the young. A new monument for Paris Frank Gehry has designed a building that, through its strength and singularity, represents the first artistic step on the part of the Fondation Louis Vuitton. This large vessel covered in twelve glass sails, situated in the Bois de Boulogne, on the edge of avenue du Mahatma Gandhi, is attached to the Jardin d'Acclimatation. Set on a water garden created for the occasion, the building blends into the natural environment, amidst the wood and the garden, playing with light and mirror effects.

  • New York by Gehry Architect Brochure
    architect “I’ve always been fascinated with folds. All artists through the ages have spent time on the fold. Michelangelo had stacks of drawings of fabric. At 8 Spruce, we’re using Bernini’s folds to inspire the façade. I look for ways to express feeling in a building without using historic decoration.” Frank Gehry As varied as the cultural contexts in which he builds, Gehry’s muses include the natu- ral environment, clients, colleagues and artists from a variety of eras and disciplines. When seeking inspiration Gehry has spoken of turning to classic art, and, especially, to paintings, which he has said are ephemeral, open to interpretation and filled with ideas. However, for New York by Gehry, he was initially particularly inspired by Michelan- gelo’s drawings of fabric, which suggested the design of a very curvaceous, voluptuous façade. Later, in an early morning epiphany, Gehry recalled the work of 17th century Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the design took a new direction. Gehry’s fascination with Bernini dates back to 1960 when he first saw Bernini’s masterful sculpture, the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa, in the Cornaro Chapel in Santa Maria della Vittoria. This sculpture, which he now visits on annual trips to Rome, features Bernini’s signature sharp, elongated folds of flowing fabric. The morning after his epiphany, Gehry went to a young designer in his office and asked her if she knew the difference between “Michelangelo curves and Bernini curves.” She said that she did, and within a matter of hours she delivered the sketch that led to the first model of New York by Gehry.

A variety of global research demonstrates that gender diversity in a company’s leadership ranks correlates with improved per- formance compared with peer organizations that lack diversity. Economic research also illustrates the increased productivity possible if industry sectors fully use the female population in the work- force. Yet membership statistics for ULI reflect a lack of diversity, with only one in four members being a woman. In order to build a vibrant and sustainable organization, that lack of diversity must be addressed. The mission of WLI is to raise the visibility and number of women leaders at ULI and in the real estate industry. This mission is achieved through the following objectives: • Promote the advancement of women, throughout their careers, as leaders in the real estate industry. • Increase the number of women serving in leadership positions in the real estate industry and at ULI.

  • Endless House: Intersections of Art and Architecture June 27, 2015–March 6, 2016 the Robert Menschel Architecture and Design Gallery, Third Floor
    Endless House: Intersections of Art and Architecture June 27, 2015–March 6, 2016 The Robert Menschel Architecture and Design Gallery, third floor Endless House considers the single-family home and archetypes of dwelling as a theme for the creative endeavors of architects and artists. Through drawings, photographs, video, installations, and architectural models drawn from MoMA’s collection, the exhibition highlights how artists have used the house as a means to explore universal topics, and how architects have tackled the design of residences to expand their discipline in new ways. The exhibition also marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Viennese-born artist and architect Frederick Kiesler (1890–1965). Taking its name from an unrealized project by Kiesler, Endless House celebrates his legacy and the cross-pollination of art and architecture that made Kiesler’s 15-year project a reference point for generations to come. Work by architects and artists spanning more than seven decades are exhibited alongside materials from Kiesler’s Endless House design and images of its presentation in MoMA’s 1960 Visionary Architecture exhibition. Intriguing house designs—ranging from historical projects by Mies van der Rohe, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, and Rem Koolhaas, to new acquisitions from Smiljan Radic and Asymptote Architecture—are juxtaposed with visions from artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Bruce Nauman, Mario Merz, and Rachel Whiteread. Together these works demonstrate how the dwelling occupies a central place in a cultural exchange across generations and disciplines. Organized by Pedro Gadanho, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art Architecture and Design Collection Exhibitions are made possible by Hyundai Card and Hyundai Capital America.

Known all over the world for his buildings, many of which have attained iconic status, Frank Gehry has revolutionised architecture’s aesthetics, its social and cultural role, and its relationship to the city. It was in Los Angeles, in the early 1960s, that Gehry opened his own office as an architect. There he engaged with the California art scene, becoming friends with artists such as Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Larry Bell, and Ron Davis. His encounter with the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns would open the way to a transformation of his practice as an architect, for which his own, now world-famous, house at Santa Monica would serve as a manifesto. Frank Gehry’s work has since then been based on the interrogation of architecture’s means of expression, a process that has brought with it new methods of design and a new approach to materials, with for example the use of such “poor” materials as cardboard, sheet steel and industrial wire mesh.

[that] makes it inseparable from its commodity character.”5 Adorno’s critique of what is facile in the cinematic image – its false immediacy – glimmers in the ubiquitous yet misunderstood term “iconic architecture” of our own episteme.
