Frank Gehry

Book excerpt: Published on the occasion of the inaugural exhibition at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, designed by Frank Gehry, this elegant volume undertakes an in-depth look at the process of design and realisation of the Foundation's new premises in Paris. Edited by Frédéric Migayrou, it is filled with sketches, models, drawings, historical documents, comparative material, and photographs - which together follow the project from its early stages of conception to groundbreaking and completion - and presents a remarkable and complete narrative of one of Gehry's most recent achievements. Includes an interview with the architect, plus contributions from several noted critics.
