Dear Sophie -
The job of an architect is incredibly complex. One must reconcile the pure emotion of a space with the site, the climate, the light, the materials, functionality, sustainability and the feasibility when constructing a space. She/he must collaborate with both the client and a team.
FRANK GEHRY changed me. When I first came to Los Angeles, there was a room that made me feel exalted... cocoonlike while exuberant. It invoked a feeling of endless possibility. It was if he said... go. Be the best you can be.
He has gone on to have an amazing career. Maintaining a spirit of spontaneity and defying every convention, insisting that the best of the human spirit prevails.
Way to go Mr. Goldberg.
With love,
Mom
