Philip Johnson, the dean of American archi- tects, has already declared it to be “the greatest building of our time,” while Sverre Fehn, the winner of this year’s Pritzker Architecture Prize (Gehry received the award in 1989), stated, “This building is fantastic.” Gehry’s use of nontraditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments for his buildings is legendary; his method of envisioning a building through semiautomatic drawings and handmade models is little known, but provides an immediate entry into his creative process. This book cele- brates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details the design process that is an intrinsic part of Gehry’s revolutionary approach to architecture. With more than 200 color and duotone reproduc- tions, it brings to life his greatest achievement yet. Art historian and artist Coosje van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architec- tural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she has uncovered scores of fascinating drawings and working pho- tographs, published here for the first time. ; L’immagine se disponibile, corrisponde alla copia in vendita.
