Frank Gehry, the celebrated architect known for his bold and unconventional designs, has died at the age of 96. Gehry's approach to architecture was characterized by experimentation and a willingness to challenge traditional forms, resulting in iconic structures such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Despite criticism that his work was overly showy or lacked functionality, Gehry received every major prize in architecture and left a lasting impact on the field. His legacy includes numerous unique buildings around the world, crafted from materials like steel, concrete, and glass, reflecting his imaginative vision.

Fallece a los 96 años el influyente arquitecto Frank Gehry

Era audaz, polémico y nunca se arredró ante las críticas. A diferencia de sus edificios, se doblaban y retorcían, limitados sólo por la gravedad y su imaginación. Siempre intento expresar movimiento. Estas ideas dan mucho miedo contárselas al cliente. Pueden rechazarte, y lo harán. La filosofía creativa de Frank Gehry era no saber nunca lo que quieres como resultado final, sino encontrarlo por el camino. Este método le dio resultados que a veces le resultaban difíciles de procesar, como su mundialmente famoso Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao. En una entrevista con la revista Vanity Fair, Gehry dijo que lo miró y dijo, Dios mío, ¿qué le he hecho a esta gente? La verdad es que tardé un par de años en que empezara a gustarme. Sus críticos han dicho que su trabajo carecía de funcionalidad y era demasiado vistoso. Su sala de conciertos Disney en Los Ángeles fue descrita por algunos como un montón de vajilla rota y una galleta de la fortuna enloquecida. La respuesta de Gehry a las críticas fue breve. Frank Gehry fue uno de esos arquitectos que quiso desafiar la arquitectura tradicional definida por la verticalidad, la horizontalidad. En algún momento, la gente pensó que estos edificios eran asaltos a los sentidos. Gehry ha ganado todos los premios importantes de arquitectura. todas sus ideas. No miro atrás fácilmente. No me atrevo a mirar atrás, en parte porque hay muchos de esos edificios que me encantan y que nunca se construyeron. El legado de Frank Gehry se puede encontrar en todo el mundo: único, impredecible, atrevido... creaciones de acero, hormigón, madera contrachapada, vidrio y una imaginación de otro mundo.
