21 buildings from architect Frank Gehry, from which the brain explodes

In the early 1960s, a real revolution took place in the field of architecture, and he came into the industry from the USA and Canada. It was a powerful cultural force, destroying all the foundations and generally accepted norms of architecture. What happened was like a tornado, and this tornado not only destroyed the old and boring, but also created something new and fresh.

An impressive element had a name - Frank Gehry. He was born in 1929 and in his youth he moved to the United States, where he founded his own business. Surprisingly, at first it was just a line of furniture. However, furniture was only the first step. Having collected enough money, Frank Gehry rebuilt his house, thereby making a name for himself. And then he steadily, consistently and confidently began to turn into a true legend of architecture. Today, Geri is known as a man who influenced many famous city landscapes and laid the foundation for an economic phenomenon.
