Frank Gehry



Internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry will visit the campus as a Chubb Fellow

Architect Frank Gehry will speak at Yale as a Chubb Fellow on Wednesday, March 23, at 5 p.m. in the Law School's Levinson Auditorium, 127 Wall St.

One of the most renowned architects alive today, Gehry has been in practice for over four decades. Hailed for the inventiveness, complexity and playfulness of his designs, he has won many awards, including the 1989 Pritzker Architecture Prize, the premiere accolade in the field. His buildings have received over 100 national and regional awards from the American Institute of Architects.

Paul Goldberger wrote in The New York Times in 1989 that Gehry's "buildings are powerful essays in primal geometric form and ... materials, and from an aesthetic standpoint they are among the most powerful and brilliant works of architecture of our time."

Recognized for his ability to translate sketch to model to built form, Gehry incorporated advanced design software into his practice in the early 1990s, facilitating the construction and engineering of more radical forms than were feasible with traditional methods. His best-known structures include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Walt Disney Concert Hall and Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, the Chiat/Day Headquarters in Venice, California, Millennium Park Music Pavilion and Great Lawn in Chicago, the DZ Bank Headquarters in Berlin and his own Santa Monica residence.

Gehry has been a frequent visiting professor and guest lecturer at the Yale School of Architecture. His honors include awards from the American Institute of Architects, the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, the Royal Institute of British Architects and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He has won the National Medal of Arts, the Lifetime Achievement Award of Americans for the Arts and the Praemium Imperiale from the Japan Art Association.

The Chubb Fellowship is devoted to encouraging and aiding Yale students interested in the operations of government, culture and public service. Established in 1936 through the generosity of Hendon Chubb (Yale 1895), the program is based in Timothy Dwight College. Former Chubb Fellows include Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, Prime Minister Mario Soares, author Toni Morrison and choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov.
