  • Frank O Gehry Design Process and the Lewis House
    November 25, 2008

    This is the story of a house that never really was, but instead was the incubator that hatched the design concepts for some of the most influential buildings of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries. The house was the collaboration of two idiosyncratic talents, a homeowner and an architect/designer, each engrossed in the pursuit of architectural perfection. They began with the aim of simply renovating an existing house located on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio, but the creative partnership of the architect and the homeowner caused the project to expand and contract exponentially. The architect was none other than Frank O. Gehry, and the homeowner, Peter B. Lewis, chairman of an insurance company. The story of the house is on view in ⁆rank O. Gehry: Design Process and the Lewis House†at the Philadelphia Museum of Art through April 5.
