My chosen Contemporary Architect - Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry is one of the most well known and awarded architects of the last 50 years whose work has become immensely influential due to its deconstructive and abstract approach. Gehry's work expands across the globe where his buildings have become major tourist attractions and are "often cited as being among the most important works of contemporary architecture."


Gehry's fame extends further than his architectural achievements, as his influence is also highly regarded within interior design, most notably his "Easy Edges" furniture designs which utilizes cardboard as a medium.
