Frank Gehry Dies At 96: Revisiting The Architect's 6 Iconic Buildings

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” For Frank Gehry, an architect with a long list of iconic buildings before him, this wasn’t just a philosophy; it was how he lived and created. A great custodian of the deconstructionist style architecture, known for sketching ideas on napkins and trusting instinct as much as engineering, he brought a rare sense of play to a serious profession. Hailed as the “Titan of Architecture” by The New York Times, Gehry passed away on December 5, 2025, at 96, leaving behind not just buildings, but memories etched into city skylines across the world.
