Frank Gehry: Uncensored Click on the link and it will take you directly to the video: https://mediasite.rcc.edu/rcc/Play/221b3a0eb65440f6a2732be433a431551d(~ 30 minutes long) We watch the video to fill out the video guide during the video and discussion: Do you look around at the built environment? Do you take in the feeling of a building or do you “pretend it’s not there?” Gehry talked about the issue with the Sydney Opera House and the office building built next to it, ruining the view of the iconic structure. Should some buildings be held “sacred” and the surrounding environment kept away to maintain the view of the original building? Gehry discussed his idea of what makes a building “ugly.” What do you consider to be “ugly” in the built environment? Do you believe that a lack of consideration for humanity makes a building/interior “ugly?” He talked about being a very famous architect now, and the impact on how he works. What is the benefit to “operating with a fairly decent level of insecurity?” Gehry discussed how architects and artists do the same thing in the way that a building, like a work of art, is a cultural commentary. Do you think that interior design is a “cultural commentary?”
