Frank Owen Gehry (actually Ephraim Goldberg) is an American architect and industrial form designer from a Canadian Polish-Jewish family. He is one of the main representatives of deconstructivism in architecture - a continuation of postmodern architecture that began in the 1980s. His projects are known primarily for their external effect, which consciously shocks by contrasting traditional urban space.
Gehry proposed an unconventional and spectacular building with an innovative and novel form, full of autonomous volumes and curves. This realization was used for the first time in the Catia computer program, previously used for modeling fuselages in aviation.
