Frank Gehry, the beloved architect known for his whimsical buildings, has died at the age of 96, which was confirmed by Meaghan Lloyd, his chief of staff. His death came following a brief respiratory illness.
While commonly known as one of the leading postmodern architects, he rejected that distinction. Like all of Gehry’s works, he preferred to be unclassifiable.
Ironically, his last major project was for Warner Bros. Second Century, a building that housed the corporate headquarters of Warner Bros. Discovery, located down the street from the historic studio lot.
