“I don’t know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.” – Frank Gehry

For this async work, I chose to do the architect, Frank Gehry. What's notable about Gehry, is that the buildings he likes to do are very surreal and wavy, making for some very interesting creations in his buildings! I feel like these architectural buildings are considered to have made an important influence on architecture because it kinda bends the rules on what something like the skyscraper of New York City looks like, it kinda gives off the notion that we should experiment with our buildings and make them look more fun! I really love their designs of the buildings mostly because they are very unique! I really would love to see more buildings like this in the United States. People need to get out of their comfort zone instead of creating the same thing and try to make new crazy funky buildings! It would make the world much more interesting, cities, especially! And lots of new attractions!
