Zain Mustafa Design Studio

Frank Gehry, an award-winning architect whose designs for museums proved widely influential, died on Friday in Santa Monica, California, at 96.⁠
More so than perhaps any other architect of the past half-century, Gehry defined the field of museum architecture. His designs, often composed of sloping, incongruous forms, helped move art institutions in a new direction, showing that they need not only be set in Neoclassical pantheons or hard-edged modernist structures.⁠
⁠
The most famous of his museum buildings was for the Guggenheim Bilbao, but he also designed skyscraper in New York, a bank in Berlin, and a concert hall in Los Angeles, and later oversaw museum buildings in locales ranging from Philadelphia to Paris. One of the great projects of his career—another Guggenheim museum, this one in Abu Dhabi—is currently being built.⁠
