Everything - design and technology and materials - has changed since the World Trade Center was built. A lot of it has to do with computers, which allow us to be far more efficient as well as structurally sound.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

We should celebrate variety r...

We should celebrate variety rather than conformity and allow people to express themselves. That we don't is more of our denial.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

I think my best skill as an a...

I think my best skill as an architect is the achievement of hand-to-eye coordination. I am able to transfer a sketch into a model into the building.

People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Cardboard is another material...

Cardboard is another material that's ubiquitous and everybody hates, yet when I made furniture with it everybody loved it.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

I know I draw without taking ...

I know I draw without taking my pen off the page. I just keep going, and that my drawings I think of them as scribbles. I don't think they mean anything to anybody except to me, and then at the end of the day, the end of the project, they wheel out these little drawings and they're damn close to what the finished building is and it's the drawing.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

The whole can be greater than...

The whole can be greater than the sum of it's parts, that we all have something to put in the pie to make it better, and that the collaborative interaction works.

Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

We live and work in boxes. Pe...

We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, "This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me."

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

There's a drive in us to expr...

There's a drive in us to express ourselves in some way or form. We pick up whatever material is available. It's primitive. Kids see sand on the beach, build something and show their parents: "Look what I did, Mama." It's necessary to us.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

I found myself starting archi...

I found myself starting architecture with a deep social, Jewish, liberal conscience, and the belief that architecture is for the people. It was a do-gooder base; I was born and raised that way. I was for blacks, whites, Italians, Poles, whatever.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Architecture has always been ...

Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It's about making the world a better place and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

We have always created - musi...

We have always created - music, literature, art, dance. The art around us - or lack of it - may be a measure of how we're doing as individuals and as a civilization, so maybe we should be worried.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Artists dismiss me as an arch...

Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.

You can look anywhere and find inspiration.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Creativity is about play and ...

Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It's crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it? I think I learned that from the artists, from my grandmother, from all the creative people I've spent time with over the years.

When you were a kid, if you went to the Montreal Forum or a hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens, which I did, there was a great feeling. The new stadiums don't have it. Why don't they have it? Building codes.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Many people put a green button on their collar and feel good, just like a lot of people put an American flag on their lapels and feel patriotic. It's not enough.
