Happy Birthday Frank Gehry

Happy birthday to a Canadian icon and one of our favourite architects, Frank Gehry.

His buildings, including his private residence, have become tourist attractions. His works are cited as being among the most important works of contemporary architecture in the 2010 World Architecture Survey, which led Vanity Fair to label him as "the most important architect of our age".


Here's a small sample of Frank Gehry's work.



Once again, Happy Birthday Frank...Spectacle loves ya!
