World-renowned architect Frank Gehry, celebrated globally for his radical approach to form, material, and movement in architecture has passed away. He was 96.

Gehry died on December 5, 2025 after a brief respiratory illness.

Over his decades-long career, Gehry became synonymous with bold curves, shimmering titanium, and architectural structures that appeared almost in motion. His signature works — including the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the Dancing House in Prague — remain icons of contemporary design and continue to inspire new generations of architects.

Gehry is remembered not only for his breathtaking creations but also for his generosity as a mentor, his infectious curiosity, and his commitment to pushing beyond the boundaries of tradition. He often described architecture as “a conversation with possibility,” a philosophy that shaped thousands of projects and minds.

The industry will truly miss him.
