Frank Gehry, one of the most influential architects of the 20th and 21st century, passes away at the age of 96. We review his vision, iconic works and creative legacy.. On December 5, as reported by RTVE, Frank Gehry (1929-2025) passed away at the age of 96. His departure marks the end of one of the most visionary voices of contemporary architecture: a creator who transformed steel, titanium and impossible curves into a poetics of movement. Gehry not only designed buildings: he invented a language of his own. His sculptural, intuitive and deeply emotional approach forever changed the way we understand the relationship between form, space and experience. In this tribute we review his most emblematic works, his creative philosophy and the legacy he leaves to artists, architects and designers around the world. An architectural language that broke all the rules. Dynamic and sculptural volumes. His buildings seem to vibrate or move, as if they were frozen in the midst of a fluid movement. His architecture aspired more to feel than to explain itself. Innovative materials. Corrugated steel, titanium, curved glass and industrial surfaces became expressive tools that defied visual gravity. Emotional design For Gehry, a building had to move. His flexible, gestural forms sought to provoke surprise, evocation, and an almost musical sensory experience. His atypical approach made his work a fusion of architecture, design and contemporary sculpture.
