Frank Gehry
Frank Gehry was born Ephraim Goldberg in Toronto Canada in 1929. At seventeen, he moved to Southern California to attend Los Angeles City College and then the University of Southern California. Immediately afterward, he joined the archtectural firm of Victor Gruen Associates. After a year in the army, he moved briefly to Boston, MA to study city planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design before returning to Los Angeles and becoming a citizen of the U.S. During this time, he worked at both Victor Gruen and Pereira and Luckman.In 1961, he moved his wife and two daughters to Paris to work at the firm of Adre Remondet, where he studied not only French modernists like le Corbusier but also classical European arichtecture. In 1963, he returned to Los Angeles and began his own firm, Frank O. Gehry and Associates, merging in 1979 to Gehry and Krueger, Inc. Needless to say, Gehry, as perhaps the most famous architect in the world, has recieved numerous awards, honorary doctrates and has taught at both Harvard and Yale.
