The Da Vinci of Architecture — Frank Gehry 1929–2025
Frank Gehry transformed everyday architecture into expressive, sculptural art — his daring, fluid designs rewrote the rules of modern building. His work remains a touchstone for architects and dreamers alike, reminding us what the built environment can aspire to be.
Frank Gehry was a visionary—his career spanned over seven decades and reshaped the very language of contemporary architecture. Born Frank Owen Goldberg in Toronto in 1929, and later naturalized American, he challenged orthodoxies of form and function by blending everyday materials with sweeping, sculptural shapes. His signature works—like Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and Walt Disney Concert Hall—transformed not only skylines but also how people conceive the emotional power of buildings. A recipient of the highest honors in architecture including the Pritzker Architecture Prize, Gehry maintained a relentless creative spirit until his death at 96 in Santa Monica on December 5, 2025. His legacy lives on in a rich oeuvre of buildings, designs, and an enduring influence on architectural imagination worldwide.

Color Becomes Structure – Bagnolet 32 by Gruit Architect
Bagnolet 32 by Gruit Architect is a 100 m² duplex renovation in Bagnolet, France, where two existing apartments are joined through an expressive structural and chromatic intervention. Exposed concrete, a yellow stair core, polyethylene kitchen surfaces, and carefully coded color fields transform the home into a rigorous yet playful study of space-making.
Bagnolet 32 transforms two stacked apartments in a 2000s residential building in Bagnolet, France, into a 100 m² duplex organized around structure, color, and the act of architectural incision. Designed by Gruit Architect, the project converts a pragmatic domestic brief into a precise spatial experiment, where the new stair, exposed beam, and triangular slab opening become the protagonists of the home. Rather than concealing the complexity of joining two former apartments, the design makes this transformation visible through contrasting concretes, industrial materials, and a restrained but highly strategic palette of yellow, blue, pink, green, and white. Completed in 2026 for Rosa Bursztein & Mickaël Allouche, with structural engineering by IN4 and construction by Caballero, the project reflects Coralie Gruit’s broader interest in rehabilitation, material clarity, and the relationship between structure and color. The result is a compact duplex that feels both domestic and experimental, turning everyday living into a vivid lesson in how architecture can reveal change.

BP by Micaela Portilla Estudio transforms a 33 m² restroom facility into a quiet architectural intervention on the edge of the Pululahua crater in Calacalí, Quito Canton. Located 3,356 meters above sea level in the Ecuadorian Andes, the project serves events at the Dome and activities connected to a larger future development. Its curved concrete walls, circular overhead openings, and monochromatic palette allow the building to read less as an object and more as a continuation of the mountain. Rather than framing distant views, BP frames atmosphere: fog, cloud, moisture, shadow, and the shifting fall of light into the crater. Through restraint, mass, and silence, the project elevates a utilitarian program into a contemplative encounter with topography and sky.
