Sketches of Frank Gehry

Just finished watching this documentary. Never knew Gehry much before but this movie just clicks on me. Gehry does things in ways that are so different from how I do things. He works mostly with sketches and models, changing the looks constantly along the way. Looks simple but effective. Makes me want to try it myself xD

I tear up a bit looking at the Bilbao Guggenheim. It's quite an overwhelming feeling, looking at it through the video and feeling like you're in it. It's in my visit list now for sure =) And surprisingly I got this building to study for History class xD 

Great movie, esp for young architects or just general public =)
