Gehry and the Committee were more conscious of how people could enter the building to give off the impression that the Disney Concert Hall is accessible to everyone and to feel casual. The use of the grand staircase on the Corner of Grand and 1 st bring the visitor into the building, but many find this staircase abrupt and disappointing. However, Gehry chose this experience to undermine the grander expectation of a classical music audience. It was truly all about the experience of the audience
of Gehry’s, which are the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. I’m interested in exploring the design of each museum and the way both building responds to the challenge that Gehry was presented with while building both masterpieces and also the way each building interacts to its surroundings. I will also briefly compare and contrast each building. Walt Disney Concert Hall and Hotel is a project that Lillian Disney commissioned in memory of her late husband. Gehry’s design was

The year of 2012 marked the completion of Frank Gehry’s very first residential project in Asia, the Opus Hong Kong. Coming from a Pritzker prize-winning architect, this residential complex cannot be labeled as just another building. Frank Gehry engraved his distinctive and whimsical style on the building, making it beautifully unique. However, the appeal of this building does not stop on its exterior. Serving its purpose as a residential unit, the building was meticulously designed to fit into the
Frank Gehry Quote “When everybody else is ready for the ending, I’m just ready to begin,” Frank Gehry once wrote. “It’s been the story of my life” (qtd. in Templer, 1999, pp.1) Laying the Foundation Born on 28 February 1929 in Toronto, Canada, Frank O.

It seems as though the LA music scene will always pull me back in. The Walt Disney Concert Hall would be welcoming Sigur Ros along with the LA Philharmonic on April 15, 2017.

“The Life and Times of Walt Disney” Walt Disney is the greatest entrepreneur of all time in most minds of little people and big people everywhere.

Discovering the true Los Angeles Moving to Los Angeles, I had an image of what I thought it would be like in my mind. I imagined that there would be countless skyscrapers and busy little tourists littering the streets walking to and fro, mesmerized by attractions such as the Hollywood sign and the hazy mountainous backdrop. As I ventured up from my previous living situation down in Sunny San Diego, the anticipation of my much-needed big city fix was slowly let down as I approached a much smaller
