Frank Gehry, who passed away Friday at his Santa Monica home at age 96, didn't just design buildings—he choreographed them. For nearly seven decades, the Canadian-American architect reimagined what structures could be, transforming rigid geometric forms into fluid sculptures that appeared to twist, undulate, and shimmer in defiance of gravity itself.
His death marks the end of an era in which architecture transcended its utilitarian roots and became something closer to living art.
