Edición de la obra Digital Gehry

"Frank Owen Gehry opened an efficient architecture studio in 1962. But in 1978, almost all at once, he overthrew the canons of his daily professionalism for a new and audacious experimentation. Now, in 2001, his praise has become unanimous: dozens of constructions have followed one after the other on both sides of the Atlantic, some of them acclaimed as works that are symbols of contemporary architecture. This book focuses on Gehry's evolving design process, and how digital tools and processes have been adapted to global/collaborative/singular practice; a fluent practice. Lindsey describes the organization of Gehry's office and its associated teams, and outlines the role of digital tools in an emergent design and construction process where a renewed passion, desire, and collaboration is resulting in "a new architecture" and the reestablishment of the architect as "master builder". These work methods are placing the architect at the center of the construction activity and are changing the way that buildings will be made in the future."--BOOK JACKET.
