Features: Without the historical and orthodox structure of post-war Los Angeles, the rapidly changing fast-food culture permeates daily life. Highways, McDonald's, and film media seem to make the permanence of themes in the wide space unnecessary. Under such a background, Gere completely rejects the awkwardness and pressure that traditional "architecture" must endure. He utilizes rough materials or mechanical products, unhesitatingly creating "incomplete" works that challenge conventional effects. This book is a collection of Frank Gehry's works from 1991 to 1995 in the United States, including built and ongoing projects. The book features detailed and vivid images, accompanied by certain textual explanations, as well as Gehry's interviews and technical information from Gehry Partners, helping readers better understand the master and his design philosophy. Amid the speed of the highway, golden sunlight falls on Gehry's tin houses, as if they are scattered sails swaying and moving before the beaches of Southern California. Perhaps this is an excellent scene that allows us to pause and reflect.
