Gehry Unfurled: A Picture Poem

Gehry Unfurled: A Picture Poem

Frank O. Gehry is one of our most famous living architects.  NOT to be confused with another famous  Frank of architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Gehry, and his Los Angeles-based firm Gehry Partners, LLP, designed LA’s Walt Disney Concert Hall

The Disney Concert Hall unfurls across a downtown LA block like a giant sculpture.

It is artfully situated down the street from MOCA, The Museum of Contemporary Art of Los Angeles.

Moving around and through it’s voluptuous, curved exterior yields treasures.

The speckled stone of the lotus-like  sculpture is in stark contrast to the industrial sheen of the building’s stainless steel surfacing.

Incredible to look at, the surface created some issues with reflection, heat and glare, which were resolved, in essence, with a light sand.

This magical magnificence is here to experience and enjoy, by All.

Merci a Monsieur Gehry…making of LA, an astonishing play ground.
