Very sad, the world is a duller place without him

Renowned architect Frank Gehry has passed away at the age of 96.

One of the world's most iconic architects, Gehry crafted cultural landmarks around the world, pioneering new approaches in parametric design that fundamentally changed modern practice. The 1989 Pritzker Prize Winner was also famous for his outspoken personality, challenging the profession to push boundaries and develop radical new ways to enhance the built environment. Architizer will explore his legacy in the coming weeks, and celebrate the unparalleled impact Gehry has had on architecture over the past half century.

In an interview with Architizer in 2023, Gehry was asked: "If you could give one piece of advice to the next generation of architects, what would it be?"

His answer spoke volumes:

"Be curious and work hard. Whatever you do, do your very best at it."
