Frank Gehry
February 28, 1929
In his early life, Frank Gehry worked as a truck driver and attended night
school for ceramics. It was there that Glen Lukens, one of his ceramics
teachers took him to a house he was building by Raphael Soriano and after
seeing the excitement Gehry had for architecture, Lukens enrolled him in an
architecture class. And so was the start of him becoming one of the most
influential architects in the field for postmodern design.
Gehry wanted to keep a focus on the architect-artist relationship since the start of
the project which is clearly shown in the images above. These sketches of the building
echo the work of Davis’ own art at the time with perspective, geometry and illusion.
