Gehry Forms Alliance of Architects To Promote Technological Integration
Gehry Technologies is forming a new strategic alliance of prominent architects and construction professionals to serve as an advisory board that will promote new technologies in design and construction. Frank Gehry, who founded the Los Angeles-based company in 2002, said in a statement on Oct. 18 "I am dedicated to giving architects better control of the process so they can deliver the fruits of their imagination, which is what our clients expect."
Gehry emphasized the shared goals of the group, whose roster contains some of the biggest names in architecture. “I have gathered a group of my friends together who believe in this mission as much as I do and who can help me find the solutions that will ultimately lead to better buildings throughout the world." The distinguished group includes David Childs, Massimo Colomban, Zaha Hadid, Greg Lynn, Laurie Olin, Wolf. D. Prix, David Rockwell, Moshe Safdie, Matthias Schuler, Patrik Schumacher, Ben van Berkel and Richard Saul Wurman.
