	Gehry Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gehry Tower is a nine-story building constructed by architect Frank Gehry; it is located at the Steintor, Goethestraße 13a, in Hanover, Germany.
		Constructed of stainless steel, the tower is memorable for the noticeable twist in its outer façade on a ferroconcrete core, making optimal use of the relatively small piece of ground on which it is located.
		Gehry's office first created a 1:100 model, which was then scanned and imported into CAD software to be able to compute the dimensions for the individual parts, all of which vary in size and shape.

	Frank Gehry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frank Owen Gehry, CC (born Ephraim Owen Goldberg in Toronto, Ontario on February 28, 1929) is a Canadian-American architect.
		Gehry is best known for his sculptural approach to building design and for constructing curvaceous structures, often covered with reflective metal.
		However, in the 2005 documentary film "Sketches of Frank Gehry", Gehry states that the work of the great Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto was his greatest inspiration.

	Published Commentary about Benson House by Frank Gehry.
		Like so much of Gehry's work, it appears to be a contractor's catastrophe unless one makes the mental effort to disconnect the design from the traditional use of the material from which it is built.
		Gehry's restless manipulation of space, his delight in banal materials, his strong sense of collage and improvisational receptivity are, of course, remarkable and often remarked on.
		For nearly a decade, Gehry expanded on that theme with a series of works whose raw, geometric forms were composed with the intensity of a child playing with building blocks.

		The location and Gehry's observations of Prague's "implied towers" and the architectural detail that adorns its buildings were decisive factors in his design.
		Urbanistically, the towers play the important role of anchoring the public square and forging a connection to the bridge.

		Frank O. Gehry found inspiration in an Arizona canyon, left, for the interior spaces of the offices and classroom tower, left, of the Peter B. Lewis Building, nearing completion on the campus of Case Western Reserve University.
		Gehry's creations have consistently been inspired by movement and the notion of an environment that is constantly evolving.
		The towering classroom areas in the center and the public spaces in the front are completely clad with steel shingles.

	Guggenheim Museum - Press Office - Frank Gehry, Architect
		Gehry's interest in creating a sense of place and his approach to the workspace are evident in his campus for Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, a project that Gehry began in 1978 and remains on going, and the Chiat/Day Building in Venice, California (1985–91).
		The varied strategies that Gehry deploys to achieve a dialogue between his buildings and their environments are visible in such diverse designs as his Ustra Office Building in Hannover, Germany (1995–present); the Millennium Park Music Pavilion and Great Lawn in Chicago, Illinois (1999–present); and the Hotel at Marques de Riscal in northern Spain (1998–present).
		Gehry received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California in 1954, studied City Planning at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and opened his first office in Los Angeles in 1962.

	Veritas et Venustas: What's Good For Starchitects Is Good For The World
		Because the towers were designed by architects who believed in the importance of the city and the public realm, the towers always met the street respectfully, spatially reinforcing it, and with a pedestrian-scaled base.
		The new towers had barren plazas and mechanically repetitive curtain walls with all the charm of graph paper, and even where the towers hold the street wall, their weightless, horizontally-banded curtain walls simply don't shape the street as successfully as the masonry buildings and their vertical accents.
		Gehry's 75-story tower — which could not be shown here, because it is still in the earliest stages of design — is conceived as a series of undulating glass panels that hang down over the building's structural frame like flowing drapery.

		Gehry's plan is the latest in a long string of proposals touted by city leaders over the last six decades to improve the area around Bunker Hill.
		The 47-story tower would extend downtown's skyline north, a trend that would continue if some of the other towers planned in Phases 2 and 3 are built.
		Gehry's building would be the 13th tallest downtown, 20 feet shorter than the 611 Place tower on 6th Street and more than 400 feet shorter than the 73-story U.S. Bank Tower, the West Coast's tallest.

		Gehry is widely recognized as the greatest living architect whose combination of plastic, poetic and high-tech designs have broken the rigid hold of rectilinear design that has dominated most modern architecture until very recently.
		Gehry's Bilbao Museum has probably attracted more interest and attention than any new building in the world since the Chrysler Building and its silvery spire was unveiled in 1931.
		Gehry's recent designs are great sculptural art, imbued with the energy of Kandinsky, the metallic skins of David Smith and Brancusi and the imaginativeness of Piranesi and Gaudi.

		Gehry is taking his sweet time designing this building, which is a very good thing, he’s a perfectionist and when he is finished and everything is released it will be one hell of a building.
		Gehry’s design for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, has been widely hailed as one of the most important designs of the last century and it catapulted him to the top of the list of the world’s most influential architects.
		Gehry also had submitted a design for the new tower for The New York Times, but he subsequently withdrew from that project, so this tower will be his first major project to be built in Manhattan.

	Montjuic Telecommunications Tower by Santiago Calatrava
		Aside from its distinctive structural form, the tower is innovative in enclosing the circular platform of microwave dishes, replacing the normal clutter with a serene white arc.
		The overall form of the tower is based on a Calatrava sketch of a kneeling figure making an offering.
		The orientation of the tower means that the shadow of the central needle on the circular platform acts as a (rather impractical) sundial.

	Tall Buildings MoMA Exhibit - New York Magazine Architecture Review
		Some of the 25 groundbreaking towers on exhibit may have been proposed for New York (mainly to replace the Twin Towers), but the critical mass of these innovative buildings, with designs that find logic outside the girdle of the straitlaced structural tube, are offshore.
		It’s a single design that develops a new paradigm for a tower of multiple footprints that twist in their upper reaches into Siamese relationships: The towers wrap around their cores, forming continuous floor plates large enough to make a small city organized along a Main Street in the sky.
		For instance, the wall texts don’t analyze the growing presence of the computer, which is encouraging formal fluidity in architecture—including the spirals that emerge as a major theme among the buildings shown.
