Tadao Ando, a celebrated Japanese architect, often emphasizes minimalism and the intrinsic beauty of materials in his work. Ruins strip away superficial elements, revealing the core principles and intentions behind a design. This aligns with Ando's philosophy of creating spaces that embody simplicity, tranquility, and a profound connection with their surroundings. His notable projects, like the Church of the Light and the Water Temple, showcase this focus on the fundamental aspects of architecture.

“The most resistant element is not wood, is not stone, is not steel, is not glass. The most resistant element in building is art. Let's make something very beautiful.” Gio Ponti

Walter Gropius, a founding figure of the Bauhaus movement, asserted that work driven by inner compulsion possesses spiritual meaning. He believed that true creativity stems from an internal drive and passion, leading to designs that are deeply meaningful and authentic.

Gropius's approach to architecture emphasized the integration of art, craft, and technology, as seen in the Bauhaus buildings and his other projects. His philosophy encourages architects and designers to seek inspiration from within, ensuring their work resonates on a deeper, spiritual level.

“… Nothing is wasted. Dare to take risks….
& Don’t be ashamed of failure.
Failure is only bad if you don’t learn from it……”

With heartfelt sorrow, we mourn the passing of Frank Gehry (1929-2025), 1989 Laureate, visionary and friend. His built works conveyed an audacious vitality, a rare technical virtuosity, and endless imagination, revealing a profound optimism through sculptural form.

Cindy Pritzker, co-founder of the Prize, said, “if I could see the world through anyone’s eyes, it would be Frank’s.” Gehry taught us to see in between spaces, through shadows and beyond heights. His love of sailing and music echoed throughout his work, inspiring the wave-like walls, steel ribbons, and glass ‘sails’ that became signature to his architectural vocabulary. His built works transformed not only landscapes and skylines, but the cultural and economic life of cities.

Upon his acceptance of the Pritzker Prize in 1989, he remarked, “It is true, I am restless, trying to find myself as an architect, and how best to contribute in this world filled with contradiction, disparity, and inequality, even passion and opportunity. It is a world in which our values and priorities are constantly being challenged. It is simplistic to expect a single right answer. Architecture is a small piece of this human equation, but for those of us who practice it, we believe in its potential to make a difference, to enlighten and to enrich the human experience, to pe*****te the barriers of misunderstanding and provide a beautiful context for life’s drama.”

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."
