14 photo: Ryan Taube photo: Ryan Taube Gehry House 22nd Street 1002 Santa Monica California United States Normally, one doesn't expect a Deconstructivist iconic building nestled in a quiet, suburban setting, but that is the house that Frank Gehry built in Santa Monica The original two-storey "dumb little house with charm," as Mr Gehry famously called it, can still be seen behind his renovation While his later experiments in architecture tended toward extravagantly curved titanium skins, in his earlier works everyday materials and techniques such as corrugated metal, chain-link fence and exposed structure were used In some examples, he wraps the entire building with these materials, completely encapsulating them However, in doing so, he also frees the building to do much more than it originally could A renovation in 1993 softened some of the original experimentation, but the original ideas can still be seen in this unique house photo: Ryan Taube Project is not public! 1978 rtaube From the 10 Freeway, take the Cloverfield exit and turn right At Santa Monica Boulevard, turn left and take the first right onto 23rd Street At Washington Avenue, turn left and the house will be one block down on the left this page is part of Mi guide '' made by rain winter, delft, Netherlands 14

16 photo: Parker Anderson photo: Parker Anderson Peter B Lewis Building Euclid Avenue Cleveland Ohio United States The Peter B Lewis Building is home to Case Western University's Weatherhead School of Management The exterior is an interesting collision of brick and the curving stainless steel forms he made famous in Bilbao and Los Angeles In fact, it was Gehry's unbuilt design for Mr Lewis' house, that is credited with some of the design choices he later explored in at the Guggenheim The interior of the building is one the more successful aspects of it The smooth curves of the wall draw the visitor, and Gehry's excellent mastery of light is revealed here as the natural light that penetrates the space shifts colors throughout the day He also makes good use of natural materials, namely wood, to warm up the classroom spaces photo: Parker Anderson Floor area/size m² rtaube Tours are available on the weekends from 1pm to 3:30pm Though its mail address says it is located on Euclid Avenue, the building is actually located just off Euclid on the intersection of Ford Drive and Bellflower Road this page is part of Mi guide '' made by rain winter, delft, Netherlands 16
