Frank Gehry, Noted Architect of the Past Half Century, Dies at 96

Frank Gehry, boundary-pushing architect whose sculptural buildings reshaped skylines worldwide, died at 96 earlier this month at his home in Santa Monica, California, after a brief respiratory illness.

The Canadian-born American architect was known for his unconventional building designs. His signature works include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. He won architecture’s top honor, the Pritzker Prize, in 1989.
