Architecture Frank Gerhy Creating the 3.D.
models for the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao,
Spain, Frank Gerhy drew his inspiration from
sculptors such as Constantin Brancusi, rather
than architects or builders. Gerhy expresses a
need to resist conventions and traditions and
instead explores pure freedom in materials and
form. His work combines sculptural forms and
architecture, to create new and unusual buildings

their work. Ephemeral and transient materials are
used in their creations, liberating artists to
observe the effects that decay, erosion and time
exert on their work.

36Patterns in the CityGaudi 1852-1926
- Gaudí, throughout his life, was fascinated by
nature. He studied nature's angles and curves and
incorporated them into his designs. Instead of
relying on geometric shapes, he mimicked the way
trees and humans grow and stand upright. Gaudí
loved for his work to be created by nature as he
used concrete leaves and vine windows to create
his ideas for him, so his work is not just
because of him but because of nature as well.
