Editor's Notes
- Frank Owen Gehry is one of the most inventive and pioneering architects working today. He was born February 28, 1929, in Toronto, Canada, but relocated to Los Angeles with his family at the age of 18. Seven years later, in 1954, he received his undergraduate degree in architecture from the University of Southern California. After brief studies in urban planning at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design and a year in Paris, Gehry returned to California and opened a small architectural office in Santa Monica in 1962. His earliest work evolved from varied influences of such pioneers as Harwell Hamilton Harris, Richard Neutra, and Frank Lloyd Wright. He used humble materials and pushed the architectural envelope, exploring a sense of movement and expression.
