Summary:
Everyone knows what the distinctive curves and lines of Frank Gehry's buildings look like. But where do they come from? Gehry has described drawing as his way of "thinking aloud"; Gehry Draws traces that thinking through 32 major projects (both built and unbuilt) with more than 500 drawings (many of which have never before been published) and more than 400 additional illustrations -- providing a privileged view of the creative practice of a master architect. Horst Bredekamp's introduction relates Gehry's drawing methods to the concept of "disegno," as practiced by Leonardo and Durer -- not only the act of drawing and modeling but also the dynamics of creative thinking -- and shows how Gehry thinks through the curving movements of his hand on paper. Gehry himself describes for Bredekamp his method in several explanatory sketches, and Bredekamp applies this to a study of drawings made for specific Gehry commissions. Gehry Draws is produced in collaboration with Frank Gehry and his team at Gehry Partners. Project synopses and commentary by Gehry and two of his Partners and Project Designers, Edwin Chan and Craig Webb, guide us through the full range of Gehry production, from the small details of furniture design to such large-scale undertakings as the Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The drawings, illustrations, and text in Gehry Draws definitively place drawing at the heart of Frank Gehry's creative process.

Avec tout ce qui lui tombe sous la main – des macaronis, des livres, des rouleaux de papier-toilette, des plats, des cuillères –, Petit Frank s’amuse à construire des tours en spirale, des chaises, et même des villes entières. Mais Papi Frank n’est pas d’accord : les architectes ne construisent que des maisons. Ils décident alors d’aller visiter le MoMA. Et parmi bien d’autres choses, ils voient l’étrange siège en carton de Frank Gehry et la Broadacre City de Frank Lloyd Wright. Papi Frank se rend compte que les architectes peuvent imaginer beaucoup plus de choses qu’il ne pensait...

Summary:
Après ses projets pour Disney, Vitra ou Minneapolis, lancés entre 1987 et 1990, Frank Gehry, Pritzker 1989, allait devenir infiniment redevable envers la Fondation Guggenheim. En effet, à la suite de négociations avec la région basque et la capitale émiratie – la fondation n'assurant qu'un rôle d'opérateur de ses propres collections –, Thomas Krens lui confiera les musées de Bilbao (1991-1997) et d'Abou Dabi (2006-2017). Depuis, ce modèle de franchise a révolutionné les stratégies muséales et urbaines – notamment celles du Centre Pompidou-Metz ou des Louvre-Lens ou Abou Dabi. Mais les fondations Luma (2010-2018) ou Louis-Vuitton (2001-2014) s'appropriant elles aussi le « style Gehry » à Arles ou à Paris, que révèlent donc toutes ces mutations privatisées ?
