    Frank Gehry: the architect who reinvented form in motion dies

    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.

    100 years after the death of the genius: the life and legacy of Antoni Gaudí

    Gaudí: The Centenary of a Visionary who Transformed Modern Architecture. The year 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), one of the world's most visionary architects. His work, deeply linked to nature, spirituality and geometry, transcended the limits of architecture to become a artistic language of its own. A century later, his figure continues to fascinate architects, designers and art lovers. This article reviews his life, explores his creative process, and celebrates the universal influence of a creator who forever transformed modern architecture. The origins of a visionary. Antoni Gaudí was born in Reus in 1852, into a family of artisan coppersmiths. His fragile health led him to spend much time observing nature, a practice that would mark all his work. Natural forms, proportions and rhythms would become his main source of inspiration. He studied architecture in Barcelona and from the beginning developed his own style. Although he mastered classical technique, his gaze sought to unite art, geometry and spirituality, anticipating Catalan modernism.

    Understanding Organic Architecture: Harmonizing Structure with Nature

    Organic architecture, a term popularized by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, advocates for designs that harmonize buildings with their environment, ensuring structures not only respect but also become one with their natural surroundings. At its core, organic architecture seeks to create a symbiotic relationship between human habitation and the natural world. Wright's vision was not about imitating nature's forms but rather about understanding the principles that govern the natural world and integrating them into design and construction. This philosophy is predicated on the belief that every building should grow naturally from its environment, with consideration for the site, materials, and purpose, to achieve a harmonious and integrated result.

    "Nanotecture" design of Small Spaces into Multifunctional and Versatile Environments

    Dear readers of this Community! Here are Catherine and Francisco, founding architects of Estudio D.E.B and teachers of Domestika. We stopped by to share with you one of the most avant-garde trends in architecture: Nanotecture or small-scale architecture. This is a discipline that refers to the creation of architectural structures and spaces that are remarkably compact, space efficient and often highly specialized in their function. These works challenge the conventions of conventional architecture by operating in much smaller dimensions, but at the same time maintain a focus on design quality and spatial experience. Small-scale architecture is often distinguished by its ability to maximize functionality and aesthetics in a limited space, offering innovative solutions to problems of housing, work, recreation or any other specific user need.
