We are saddened by the passing of Frank Gehry. But we are also grateful to have shared his time and values. His example has cast a long shadow. RIP.
Upon his acceptance of the Pritzker Prize in 1989, he remarked, “It is true, I am restless, trying to find myself as an architect, and how best to contribute in this world filled with contradiction, disparity, and inequality, even passion and opportunity. It is a world in which our values and priorities are constantly being challenged. It is simplistic to expect a single right answer. Architecture is a small piece of this human equation, but for those of us who practice it, we believe in its potential to make a difference, to enlighten and to enrich the human experience, to pe*****te the barriers of misunderstanding and provide a beautiful context for life’s drama.”
