Nice Building! Then What?

Film!
Azi cu Frank Gehry - un arhitect pe care am inceput sa il apreciez abia dupa ce i-am vizitat cladirile. Aici, batranel, povesteste despre evolutia sa ca arhitect ("I don't have my own plane yet"). Deci postul este pentru Adi, Claudia, Lucian, Ovidiu si Patrick (in ordine alfabetica :)).

Frank Gehry wanted to be a scientist when he grew up. But after blowing up a part of his house, at age 14, he decided against it. He's gone on to create some mindblowing buildings, including the Guggenheim at Bilbao and LA's Walt Disney Concert Hall. This wildly entertaining conversation with Richard Saul Wurman (then host of TED) touches on many topics, including the power of failure, the importance of collaboration, and the need for architects to bring personal expression to the table.
