Frank Gehry is somewhat of an architectural schismatic; taking out more conventional forms of design and building while making people rethink how they conceptualize architecture. His buildings take one by surprise, but very pleasantly so. Some, shown in the documentary, jump out at the spectator as compared to the surrounding structures, but not in an inharmonious way. They are like works of art in themselves, and beg a second, third, and fourth look.
The processes and methods employed by the architect were quite atypical; folding paper, and refolding, refolding, refolding. The organization of his mental and creative capacities seemed simple but ingeneous at the same time. Some people might be frightened by his divorce from conventional architecture, but his methods seem to work for him. Based on the number and popularity of his structures, they seem to be appreciated by others too.

Kate,
Very good observations about the actual work of Frank Gehry. Oddly enough, I focused more on his life story and his process of working. The buildings were amazing, as you had noted distinct and characteristic of the artist and in harmony with the site. They definitely beg third and fourth examinations.
