Drawing on the most candid  revealing  and entertaining conversations she has had with Gehry over the last twenty years  Barbara Isenberg provides new and fascinating insights into the man and his work.  Gehrys subjects range from his childhoodwhen he first built cities with wooden blocks on the floor of his grandmothers kitchento his relationships with clients and his definition of a great client. We learn about his architectural influences (including Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright) and what he has learned from Michelangelo  Rembrandt  and Rauschenberg.  We explore the thinking behind his designs for the Guggenheim Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall  the redevelopment of Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn and Grand Avenue in Los Angeles  the Gehry Collection at Tiffanys  and ongoing projects in Toronto  Paris  Abu Dhabi  and elsewhere. And we follow as Gehry illuminates the creative process by which his ideas first take shapefor example  through early drawings for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao  when the buildings trademark undulating curves were mere scribbles on a page. Sketches  models  and computer images provided by Gehry himself allow us to see how so many of his landmark buildings have come to fruition  step by step.  Conversations with Frank Gehry is essential reading for everyone interested in the art and craft of architecture  and for everyone fascinated by the most iconic buildings of our time  as well as the man and the mind behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67979577425973,"sku":"ByrdShop_0307268004","price":42.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780307268006.jpg?v=1794682939","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/conversations-with-frank-gehry-9780307268006","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
