\n\t\t\t\t\tBorn in 1929 in Toron\u00adto, Cana\u00adda, Frank Owen Gehry has intro\u00addu\u00adced an unmist\u00adaka\u00adble for\u00admal lan\u00adguage into archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre. Angled pla\u00adnes, bio\u00admor\u00adphic forms, see\u00admingly til\u00adting spaces and unu\u00adsu\u00adal com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adons of mate\u00adri\u00adals are cha\u00adrac\u00adte\u00adristic of an archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adral style that seems to set sta\u00adtic buil\u00addings in moti\u00adon. A per\u00adfect exam\u00adp\u00adle can be seen at Pari\u00adser Platz 3 in Ber\u00adlin: the DZ BANK buil\u00adding finis\u00adhed in 2001. <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Today, Frank O. Gehry is con\u00adside\u00adred as one of the most meaningful repre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adti\u00adves of decon\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adti\u00advism. He hims\u00adelf never felt like belon\u00adging to this type of archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre howe\u00adver, and saw the roots for his style in his own inner doubts about a straight\u00adfor\u00adward world. Gehry oppo\u00adsed sta\u00adtic forms with a dyna\u00admic crea\u00adted by the con\u00adnec\u00adtion of diver\u00adgent con\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adtion ele\u00adments, making spaces appear to be flowing into each other.<\/p>\n

Gehry expres\u00adsed his approach for the first time when reno\u00advat\u00ading his own house, which made him an over\u00adnight star in the US-Ame\u00adri\u00ad\u00adcan archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre cir\u00adcle. He decon\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adted his two-sto\u00adry home, left the frame int\u00adact and cover\u00aded it with bar\u00adbed wire and cor\u00adru\u00adga\u00adted sheet metals. The effect: a house appearing to explode.<\/p>\n

Apart from buil\u00addings like the Dancing House in Pra\u00adgue or the \u201eWalt Dis\u00adney Con\u00adcert Hall\u201c in Los Ange\u00adles, one of Gehry\u2019s most famous con\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adtions is con\u00adside\u00adred to be the Gug\u00adgen\u00adheim muse\u00adum ope\u00adned in the 90s in Bil\u00adbao \u2013 an archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adral won\u00adder made of glass, tita\u00adni\u00adum and lime\u00ads\u00adtone that the Spa\u00adnish indus\u00adtri\u00adal city owes an unpar\u00adal\u00adle\u00adled eco\u00adno\u00admic ups\u00adwing to.<\/p>\n

The DZ BANK buil\u00adding, finis\u00adhed in 2001, counts as one of Gehry\u2019s few con\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adtions in Ger\u00adma\u00adny and the only one in Ber\u00adlin in direct vici\u00adni\u00adty to the Bran\u00adden\u00adburg Gate.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
