Frank Gehry, one of the most expressive and creative architects in the world, teaches his unconventional philosophy on architecture, design, and art.

Frank Gehry was born in 1929, in Ontario, Canada, where he lived until immigrating to Los Angeles, California, USA, in 1947. Frank graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the
University of Southern California in 1954. From 1969 to 1973, he designed a furniture line called
Easy Edges. The curved, swooping forms of his chairs, all constructed from corrugated cardboard,
foreshadow the movement he wanted to express in future designs, like the Walt Disney Concert
Hall in Los Angeles and the Dancing House in Prague. An accomplished architect and designer,
Frank has won many awards, chief among them the Pritzker Architecture Prize (often referred to
as the Nobel Prize of architecture) in 1989 and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom (the nation’s highest civilian honor) by Barack Obama in 2016.
