Five lesser-known buildings by Frank Gehry which laid the foundations for his international breakthrough a decade later, portrayed by the renowned architectural photographer Johan Dehlin.
This publication revisits some of Frank Gehry’s lesser-known early works, built in the late 1970s and early 1980s. During this period, Gehry experimented with low-cost construction and “off the shelf” materials in creating a series of highly inventive projects in the Los Angeles area. Johan Dehlin’s previously unseen pictures of the Gemini G.E.L. (1979), Spiller House (1980), Indiana Avenue Houses (1981), Benson House (1984) and Norton House (1984) are accompanied by newly reproduced drawings of the architect and a series of texts that provide fresh critical perspectives.
