A Rare Private Residence Designed by Frank Gehry

摘要

FRANK GEHRY is emerging from the Covid lockdown just like the rest of us, but he is surely busier than most. At 92, he continues to work at every scale-from ongoing plans for the 51-mile-long Los Angeles River basin to creating an art installation based on the Mad Hatter's tea party, a work that was inspired by his 5-year-old granddaughter. While the $1 billion mixed-use Grand complex, across from Disney Hall in Los Angeles, that he designed for the developer Related, is well under construction, much of the architect's work these days is philanthropic. And projects long in gestation are finally finishing. His restoration and reimagining of the Philadelphia Museum of Art opens to the public May 7 (a second, final phase has been designed but is not yet being built). In the south of France, the Luma Aries tower for the arts will debut in June.
