Abstract
This paper explains that Frank Gehry is noted not only for the unusual organic look and materials on the exterior of his buildings but also for changing the way people relate to the interior design of buildings. The author points out, in the examples of Gehry's designs, how he shows interesting variations on the way people relate to the interior, get into and out of the interior and react to the function of each building. The paper relates that Gehry's interiors and exteriors also are linked to the land more directly than is often the case with other structures, not merely by being placed on a certain ground but by making use of this terrain and by forming an organic bond inside and out.

From the Paper
"The Disney Hall seems to connect to the street in some ways. The Seattle music building includes a rail system that goes right through the building. The museum in Bilbao connects the structure directly to the street and to the main thoroughfare of the town, a road that cuts through the complex of buildings making up the museum. The museum itself is not a single structure but a series of nineteen galleries connected in such a way that they make up one large building, or at least give the impression of one large building."

Abstract
This paper explains that Franks Gehry is probably the foremost proponent of the dean of American architecture Philip Johnson's "Deconstructivist Architecture". The author points out that Gehry links his work in interesting ways with the environment and with the culture of the structure's surroundings. The paper reviews the critics of several of his works: The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; the Malibu studio and residence of artist Ron Davis; the expansion of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the Disney Music Hall in Los Angeles.

From the Paper
"Germano Celant refers to the architecture of Frank Gehry as "idealized cities - essences of urbanity which, refracted and re-presented through Gehry's aerial vision, throws open new ways of understanding the spatial and temporal dimensions of architecture." Celant also emphasizes ways in which the buildings of Gehry seem to expand out of themselves. He is referring specifically to buildings Gehry had designed for Los Angeles when he says that they "seem to split open and break apart, to burst out of closed containers and shoot off in all linguistic directions, as if seduced by the urban eroticism of Los Angeles." Celant says that many of these structures consist of a collection of structures making up a "house-city" marked by transparency through which one can observe details by peering through "apertures or lattices, panels or filters, through chain link or glass."'

Abstract
This paper looks at the life of Frank Gehry and his work, focusing on how he is associated with certain industrialized styles seen as representative of Los Angeles architecture from the 1970s and 1980s. It discusses how, even though Gehry represents these home structures to the people of Los Angeles, he also represents the visible face of the city through his structures in other cities, adding to the luster of Los Angeles by contributing to its reputation as an innovative and creative place that influences the rest of the world.

Disney Music Hall

From the Paper
"The Walt Disney Concert Hall was situated very consciously on Bunker Hill, placed in relation to a number of art venues: the Central Library, the three theaters of the Music Center, MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), and the Richard D. Colburn School for the Performing Arts. Surrounded by heavily trafficked streets, the Concert Hall literally spills out onto Grand Avenue with its various intriguing convex and concave shapes. The interior of the Hall is encompassed in Douglas fir and gives the impression of a nautical vessel instead of a great musical instrument."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of four periods of architecture and four architects whose designs represented key styles that arose in Los Angeles during the 20th century: Irving Gill (mission revival); Frank Lloyd Wright (early modernism); Richard Neutra (international style modernism); and Frank Gehry (post-modernism). The paper includes an appendix with a work from each architect.

From the Paper
"During the twentieth century, a number of different architecture styles and architects left their imprint on the greater Los Angeles area. While a good part of this development was regional in nature with respect to architectural style and design, the whole range of modern architecture and its development are also represented via architects like Irving Gill, Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra and Frank Gehry. Gill's mission revival style of architecture, Wright's early modernism, Neutra's modernism and Gehry's post-modernism are all reflected in..."

From the Paper
"Like his professional life, Wright's personal life was also fraught with conflict and controversy. Wright married his first wife Catherine in 1889, and they eventually had six children. However, echoing his father's actions, Wright left his family in 1909 for Mamah Cheney, a wife of one of his clients. Although still married to Catherine, he returned with Cheney to Wisconsin in 1911, where the couple built a home and took up residence. In 1914, however, a servant murdered Cheney, her two children and four other people before setting the house on fire (Constantino 12)."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the life of Frank Lloyd Wright, who is presented as one of the most influential architects in history. The writer explores Wright's childhood and its influences, his works and his life as they relate to the contribution he made to the world. The paper shows photos of some of his more famous works.

From the Paper
"Wright was born in Wisconsin in a town called Richland Center. His childhood was filled with happiness and warmth surrounded by the love of a mother and other family members who knew he would succeed as soon as he found his passion.
That passion turned out to be architecture. He spent several semesters studying at the school of Engineering at the University of Wisconsin before he decided in 1887 to go to Chicago and pursue his dreams(The Early Years http://www.delmars.com/wright/flw1.htm).
An uncle who was a minister in a church in the area got Wright an apprentice position where is first work was a Silsbee commission. In this project he designed a Hillside Homeschool for his aunt(The Early Years http://www.delmars.com/wright/flw1.htm)."

Abstract
This ten-page paper presents a detailed look at the life of famed architecture guru Frank Lloyd Wright. The writer takes the reader on a tour of Wright's life as well as many of his works and outlines why he is considered one of the top architects in the world. There were six sources used to complete this paper.

Abstract
The paper relates that Frank Lloyd Wright is recognized as one of the most prominent and influential architects in American design. The paper focuses on his characteristic "prairie style" designs. The paper explains that, while Wright's work tends to be praised as unique, this assumption tends to discard the influences on Wright from antecedents found within other aspects of American design and architecture. The paper looks at how Wright in turn helped establish a legacy in design.

From the Paper
"Wright had established himself as a prominent architect in the late 1890s, and frequently accepted commissions for buildings that were purposefully selected to test his skills and to promote specific outcomes. While still in his infancy as a designer, the prairie style home was built at the request of the Ladies' Home Journal, a popular magazine that had sought out Wright and commissioned a home design. The Journal asked Wright to envision and execute the home of the future, one in which the resident would feel comfortable yet stylish. Prior to this, the Journal believed that the majority of American homes could either have one or the other; a dwelling that was clean and comfortable was quite frequently an eyesore, while the ostentatious homes of the wealthy were not conducive to the comfort of its inhabitants."

Abstract
The paper examines and compares the work of architect Arne Jacobsen in architecture and interior design. The paper compares the effect of differing scales on his work, and seeks common threads in work at different scales. The paper considers the varying public reception of Modernist architecture and interior design and discusses Jacobsen's influence on furniture design.

From the Paper
"Danish architect Arne Jacobsen is not the only architect to have worked on the very different scale of interior design, but he is perhaps remarkable in that his impact on interior design and specifically furniture, arguably looms larger in the popular culture and social imagination than his contributions to architecture in the conventional sense of buildings. Millions of furniture buyers are familiar with Danish Modern as a style Jacobsen played the central role in developing..."
