Frank Gehry is one of the world’s most influential architects. He is recognized for his use of bold, sculptural forms and his applications of advanced technologies. Some of his most famous projects include the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris.
