Monday, Long day

Monday answer. I'm surprised that no

one took a shot. For as famous a designer as this guy I would have guessed that with the information provided he would have been recognized. No harm no foul.

The person is Frank Owen Gehry, (born Ephraim Owen Goldberg, February 28, 1929) is a Pritzker Prize-winning architect/designer/artist based in Los Angeles. The Pritzker is arguably the world�s highest prize for a living architect. His buildings have become tourist attractions. Internationally famous, many museums, companies, and cities seek Gehry's services as a badge of forward thinking and international distinction, beyond the product he delivers.

His best-known works include the titanium-covered Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, Experience Music Project in Seattle, Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis, Dancing House in Prague.

Born in Ontario Canada he is a huge fan of hockey and he designed the World Cup for that sport. He has a fish shaped building in Kobe, Japan.

His furniture is cardboard laminated in dozens of layers and shaped but otherwise unfinished. He thought it up while in the U.S. Army, but developed it later. He is so famous he played a characterization of himself on the �Simpsons� as an architect contemplating a balled up piece of paper as a building (not far from the truth).

He is criticized for not building for the environment, wasting space, not paying attention to location, climate, or the relationships of the surrounding �neighborhood�. But with all that he is paid a premium to do his thing. It certainly works for him.

Call him up on any browser. You either love him or hate him. Either way, he doesn�t care.
