Obituary for Frank Gehry The architect who designed our building

It is with deep sad­ness that we lear­ned of the pas­sing of archi­tect Frank Gehry. He died on Decem­ber 5 at his home in San­ta Moni­ca. Gehry was 96 years old.

Our buil­ding on Pari­ser Platz bears his unmist­aka­ble signa­tu­re. Gehry’s visio­na­ry archi­tec­tu­re has given our venue a soul that goes far bey­ond the visi­ble. The cur­ved shapes, the inter­play of light and mate­ri­als, and the bold design inspi­re us and our guests every day. For many, AXICA is a place that sur­pri­ses, moves, and con­nects, exact­ly what Frank Gehry always wan­ted to achie­ve with his work.
We are gra­teful to be able to work and wel­co­me guests in a buil­ding that is one of the few Gehry struc­tures in Ger­ma­ny. His work remains an obli­ga­ti­on and an incen­ti­ve for us to car­ry on his values and spi­rit of innovation.

Our thoughts are with his fami­ly and all tho­se who were clo­se to him.
Dear Frank Gehry, thank you for your art, your visi­on, and your lega­cy. AXICA will always remain a part of your history.
