Frank Gehry is a Canadian-American architect known for his use of bold, postmodern shapes and unusual fabrications. His iconic works include Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Guggenheim Museum in Spain, The Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, and more. Gehry came to Los Angeles in 1949 and enrolled at LACC before transferring to USC. In 1963, he founded his own firm, Gehry Associates. The avant-garde style of architects in Venice Beach influenced Gehry as he became known as one of the leaders in Deconstructivist style. Unusual materials, shapes, and gravity-defying architecture became his trademark.
