At 95 Frank Gehry still works on his trademark buildings that made him world famous. But at the beginning of his career it were his houses that actually put him on the map of critics, future clients and an interested audience. In his houses he brought to bear the assemblage character that for quite some time characterized his work. Gehry experimented with forms and materials and once admitted that Robert Rauschenberg had a major influence on his houses.
Mildred Friedman, who has frequently discussed and commented on Gehry’s work, in 2009 published „Frank Gehry: The Houses“ with Rizzoli which still is the most comprehensive publication on this aspect of the architect’s vast oeuvre. For the book Friedman selected 21 of Gehry’s houses designed in the 1960s to late 1980s and thus mainly designs conceived without the help of CAD. The selection starts off with Gehry’s own house in Santa Monica and continues with well-known examples like the Davis Residence, the Spiller House or the Norton House. In browsing the book one realizes that only one of the houses is located outside of California, namely the Winston Guest House in Wayzata, Minnesota. Each of the houses is presented in numerous photographs, drawings and plans that offer valuable information beyond the undeniable visual appeal. A neat book!
