“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” - Frank Gehry

Architecture, according to renowned architect Frank Gehry, should not only reflect the spirit of its era and location but also aspire to be timeless.

This statement encapsulates Gehry’s approach to designing buildings that transcend temporal boundaries and speak to the essence of a specific time and place.

By incorporating elements that are both relevant to the present and rooted in the context they inhabit, architecture can evoke a sense of connection and continuity with its surroundings.

However, Gehry believes that true architectural greatness lies in the ability to transcend the constraints of time and create designs that remain relevant and impactful for generations to come.
