And still going strong.


‘What Would I Do?’ Frank Gehry, 92, Is Too Busy to Retire
‘I'm just free to build, now I don't have to worry about fees’
Renowned architect is focused on social justice projects but also has lighthearted pursuits

Asked whether, given his age and accomplishments, he has considered taking a break or scaling back, Gehry dismisses the idea. “What would I do?” he says. “I enjoy this stuff.”

A very impressive and inspiring designer. I don’t love each and every one of his designs but give him much credit for his imaginative spirit, willingness to push boundaries in both design and structure and especially for his breadth and length of work in the architectural field.

He and Frank both had a problem with leaks- probably better off with an umbrella than a bucket!!!

I assume the "Frank" you're talking about here is Lloyd Wright.
