RICK SMITH JOINS FRANK GEHRY

摘要

"If you watch me draw—actually draw—you'll see it's a frantic kind of searching," Frank Gehry said in an interview published in the 1985 monograph Frank Gehry: Buildings and Projects. By the mid-1980s— after the success of his cardboard furniture and Santa Monica home but before Bilbao—Gehry's relationship with the two-dimensional drawing surface had grown uneasy. Evidence could be found not only in his office—strewn with tattered half-built models in paper, cardboard, wood, and plastic—but in the forms of his residential projects completed after 1978. Like his Post-Modern contemporaries, Gehry was breaking from convention, and in doing so he had defined the need for a new tool.
