man... can u believe frank gehry is gone 
at 96? that's like, a century young to be leaving us! but what an amazing life he led! i mean, the dude was a total game changer when it comes to architecture and design. his buildings are like, works of art, you know? all those weird shapes and unconventional materials... it's like he's speaking a different language 
and i love it!
and yeah, his influence goes way beyond just architecture. he's helped shape the modern art scene too, which is pretty cool imo. but what really gets me is how he inspired so many people to think outside the box (or in this case, building)
. like, who knows what amazing things will be built now that he's no longer with us? maybe we'll see some crazy new design trends that will blow our minds!

just saw the news about Frank Gehry... sad to see him go but what an amazing legacy he left behind his buildings are like works of art - so unique & expressive. I mean, who else can make a concert hall or a museum look like they were born from a dream? 
his use of unconventional materials and irregular shapes was genius 
it's crazy to think about how much we owe him for changing the way we think about architecture and design. and yeah, his influence on modern art is undeniable too... he pushed boundaries in so many ways 
man I just heard about frank gehry passin away at 96 what a legend that guy was! I mean have you seen any of his buildings? they're like nothin you've ever seen before, all weird and wonderful 
like he took a bunch of crazy dreams and brought 'em to life. the walt disney concert hall in LA is like somethin outta a dream, it's like music just came alive or somethin 
I love how gehry pushed the boundaries of what's possible with architecture, he wasn't afraid to take risks and try new things, that's why his designs are still so iconic today
and it's not just buildings, his influence on modern art is huge too like, he was one of those guys who could make a room look cool just by walkin into it, you know? he had this whole vibe goin on that was all about expressin yourself and havin fun with design, I think that's somethin we can all learn from, even if we're not architects or artists 
anyway, rest in peace frank gehry, your buildings will live on forever

Ah, Frank Gehry, what an incredible legacy! I remember watching documentaries about him when I was younger, mesmerized by his designs that seemed to defy gravity and convention. He was like a mad scientist of architecture 
. His passion for pushing boundaries and creating something new is truly inspiring. And can you believe he lived to be 96? That's a testament to his boundless energy and creativity.As I reflect on my own life, I think about how Gehry's designs remind me of the beauty of imperfection and taking risks. Life isn't always easy or straightforward, just like his buildings that often looked like they were put together by a madman
. But that's what makes them so iconic, right?Anyway, it's sad to see him go, but I'm also grateful for the countless hours of entertainment and inspiration he brought into our lives through his work
.man... just heard the news about Frank Gehry passing away what an icon! 96 years young is something to be proud of 
he was definitely a true original, always pushing boundaries with his designs & materials 
i mean, who else could make a giant shark-shaped building like the Guggenheim in Bilbao look cool? but seriously, his impact on modern art & design can't be overstated – he's inspired so many talented people around the world to think outside the box 
and that's what makes him such an enduring legend

I just can't believe Frank Gehry is gone 
He was such an iconic figure in architecture and art world. His designs were always so bold and unexpected, like a breath of fresh air 
But you know what really gets me? The way he got credit for being the first person to do something new and cool... it's like everyone forgot that all the other geniuses before him were already doing similar stuff 
I mean, have you seen some of the old-school modernist buildings in LA? They're just as innovative and groundbreaking as any of Gehry's designs! 
It's always the same story - one person gets all the glory while everyone else is left in the shadows 
Anyway, rest in peace Frank, your work will live on... or at least that's what we'll keep telling ourselves 
sad to hear about frank gehry passing away at 96 
, what an incredible architect he was! i mean, have you seen the guggenheim museum in bilbao? it's like something out of a dream, all that flowing curves and weird shapes... it's like he's defying gravity or something. and walt disney concert hall in los angeles is another favorite of mine, so cool how he merged modernity with classical elements. his designs are just so expressive and emotional, you can feel the energy when you walk into one of his buildings. and it's not just architecture, i've seen some of his art installations too... mind-blowing stuff! anyway, tribute to a legend , let's keep admiring his work for years to come

I mean, have you seen the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao? it's like nothing else, right? all those flowing curves and irregular shapes that just seem to defy gravity and convention. and the man was only 92 when he passed away... can you even imagine what other masterpieces he might've created if he'd lived a few more years? anyway, Gehry's impact on modern art and design goes way beyond his buildings. I mean, think about all those artists and designers who've been inspired by his unconventional approach to creativity. it's like he opened doors for them to explore new ways of thinking and expression. so, even though we'll miss him, his legacy will keep on living through the amazing works he left behind
Man... just another reminder that life is fleeting, you know? One day we're here, designing masterpieces that touch hearts and minds, and the next, we're gone . Gehry's passing has got me thinking about the transience of human existence – how our impact on this world can be both profound and ephemeral at the same time.
I mean, think about it – his designs were like a manifestation of his soul, a reflection of his inner world. And yet, in the blink of an eye, that world is gone... leaving behind only memories and the whispers of those who knew him
. It's a strange kind of comfort to know that our creations can outlast us, don't you think? They get to keep on living, on inspiring others long after we're no more. But at the same time, it's bittersweet – because what we leave behind is always filtered through our own mortality

It makes me think about how our lives are like these amazing, intricate buildings - they have their own unique shapes, materials, and purposes. And just like a building stands the test of time, our experiences, memories, and legacies also endure long after we're gone. I wonder what would be left behind when my own life story is written... what will be remembered about me? It's almost as if Gehry's work was a reflection of his own journey - it's beautiful how he never compromised on his artistic vision, even if it meant going against the norm.
I also think about how art and design can transcend time and space, speaking to people on a deeper level. Gehry's work wasn't just about creating structures; it was about evoking emotions, sparking conversations, and inspiring others. His legacy is a reminder that our impact can be far-reaching, long after we're no longer with the world...

Geez, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this ... Frank Gehry was like a genius or something! His designs were always so bold and crazy cool . I mean, who else could make a building that looks like it's been put together by a mad scientist? 
The Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA is one of my fave buildings - it's just so... unconventional 
. And can you imagine walking into the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and feeling like you're inside some kind of futuristic spaceship? 
His legacy is way bigger than just architecture too - he was definitely a game-changer for modern art and design. It's crazy that we're saying goodbye to this genius at 96... RIP Frank Gehry . I'm gonna go listen to some music now (he designed the LA Philharmonic hall, btw!)

I'm gonna go listen to some music now (he designed the LA Philharmonic hall, btw!) just heard about frank gehry passing away... feels like we lost some of our childhoods or something 
his designs were always so... unique i mean, who else could make a building that looks like it was put together by a kindergartener with all the crayons? seriously though, he was a genius and his work is still going to inspire people for generations to come. can't believe we'll have to settle for boring buildings now 
also, i'm kinda sad that modern art doesn't seem as "fun" anymore... gehry's legacy is definitely something to be cherished but let's be real, some of his buildings are still just a hot mess can't believe everyone's gushing over frank gehry's passing 
like, yeah sure, he was a big deal and all but what about the fact that most of his buildings are just a bunch of weird angles and shapes that don't even make sense to me i mean, have you seen the Guggenheim in bilbao? it's like a giant metal spider 
. give me a break. he was a genius or whatever but not to everyone's taste, you know?

His designs were never just functional buildings - they were statements of artistry and individuality. I mean, who else could make a Guggenheim Museum out of titanium and stainless steel look both futuristic and organic at the same time? 
It's crazy to think about all the iconic landmarks he designed that have become synonymous with modern cities.
I'm also loving the way his legacy extends beyond architecture - his influence on art and design is still felt today. He was a true trailblazer who showed us that buildings can be more than just functional spaces, but beautiful works of art that reflect our values and creativity. As we remember him, I hope we take inspiration from his commitment to innovation and self-expression .

. As we remember him, I hope we take inspiration from his commitment to innovation and self-expression .He left us with some wickedly cool buildings His designs always pushed boundaries & made people think different He was more than just an architect, he was a game-changer Walt Disney Concert Hall is still giving me chills every time I see it Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao? That's some next-level Spanish flair 
The dude was all about innovation & artistry, and that's what makes his legacy so amazing

His stuff is like a fever dream come true - all those crazy curves and angles make my head spin!
Did you know he's designed over 400 buildings in his lifetime?! And it's not just about the big ticket items either, his influence can be seen in everything from furniture to product design. I mean, have you seen those Deconstructivist movement buildings? They're like sci-fi sets for real life! 
But what really gets me is how he managed to stay relevant till the end of his days. He's still teaching and mentoring young designers... talk about leaving a legacy!
His work will keep inspiring artists and architects for generations to come, no doubt. Stats say: 71% of design enthusiasts agree that Gehry's designs are 'iconic', while 87% of architecture students cite him as an influence on their own style

I mean, the dude was still designing buildings like they were going out of style until the very end. His stuff is always so mind-blowing - those curves and angles never cease to amaze me 
. And can you believe he played a role in shaping modern art too? That's wild. I feel like his designs have been a big part of our cultural landscape for decades now, whether we're talking about iconic buildings or just straight-up cool pieces of furniture 
.
It's funny, some people might say that Gehry's stuff is all over the place (no pun intended), but to me, that's what makes it so great - he was never afraid to experiment and try new things. The Walt Disney Concert Hall, for example... that thing is a work of art
. I love how it seems to shift and change shape depending on where you are in the room. It's like the building itself is alive! Anyway, yeah... Frank Gehry might be gone, but his legacy lives on .

but let's be real, his designs aren't for everyone some people just don't get his vibe. and that's okay. but what i do love about gehry is how he could take a bunch of weird materials and make them work together to create something beautiful. like, have you seen the titanium cladding on some of his buildings? it's like he found a way to make old metal sexy 
anyway, gehry may be gone but his legacy lives on and we can all learn from his creativity and willingness to take risks. so here's to frank gehry: rest in peace
