Joshua Prince-Ramus: Burying Frank Gehry


I’ve never been comfortable”—he grabs a sheet of white paper, uncaps his pen, and starts whorling in black ink—“doing Frank Gehry. I would never suppose that someone would look at my sketch and go, Aaahhhhhhhhhh. No wonder architecture’s dead—because that’s what everyone thinks architecture is now. When Calatrava and Gehry die, it’s done—no one’s gonna pay us to do that. So it’s terrifying for me to look at schools trying to bring out your personal vision.
