Movie: Sketches of Frank Gehry
This week's Date Night movie is Sketches of Frank Gehry. I chose the film amongst all the fab films because I didn't think it was going to last long in the theatres. What a fabulous season for movies!
So watching the film was like listening in to a conversation between two really good friends. It was so easy to get inspired by genius and Gehry's seemingly amicable personality. But mostly, I was awed by the beautiful pictures of his wonderful buildings, so unreal and fairytale like. I almost wanted to jump on a plane when I got out of the theatre - to go walk around the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain and admire art in an extraordinary space or to listen to a symphony at LA's Disney Concert Hall.
There are some architects I deeply admire, because they do make the world a better place to live in, by making our spaces more beautiful.
