I just got Frank O. Gehry -- The Complete Works, its the best catalogue of an architect's work that I have ever read, or looked at, I cant stop opening it up and just looking at the pictures...it has from Gehry's senior thesis to past the Guggenheim and the Disney concert hall-alex
Steve replies:
I have the Gehry book you mention, and yes it is a nice book. You forgot to mention how heavy it is, especially if you're like me and like to read in bed. As it happens, just a few hours ago I looked through the latest book on Gehry in the stores. It's called something like Gehry Talks. It too is a nice book; I didn't buy it, even though it seems full of good explanatory text regarding Gehry's process, as well as including projects even newer than in The Complete Works.
And speaking of great complete works, in 1977 I wisely invested in Le Corbusier's 8 volume Complete Works. I know this is a set of architecture books that most architects don't own for themselves, but believe me when I say that having the opportunity of looking through those books at any time is one of the best architectural educations out there. Those books not only write the architecture of the 20th century, but they also hold architectural ideas that will materialize in the 21st century.
