Product Description
For over forty years, postmodern architect Frank Gehry has changed skylines with his dramatic forms. Among several other awards, his enchanting body of work earned him the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize-the “Nobel Prize of architecture.” Experience for yourself Gehry's captivating deconstructive designs in a new interactive book, Frank Gehry in Pop-Up. This beautiful pop-up book illustrates Frank Gehry's greatest works of architecture and their natural environments, demonstrating his gift for radically redefining structure and space. Discover the inspirations behind Gehry's light and lively designs in a three-dimensional way, and learn how he combines building elements with an innovative approach. Featured within are his most iconic works, including the titanium-clad Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and the pioneering, pulled-apart structure of Gehry's Venice Beach House. Get to know the man behind the buildings with a brief yet in-depth look into Gehry's personal history and lifeworks. Compare and contrast the many different sides of Gehry, from the whimsical laid-back Californian to the closet elitist-and sometimes obsessive perfectionist.

A pop-up book for grownups! January 6, 2009 My wife has been practicing architecture for over twenty years and she loved it. How often do you find a pop-up book for adults? Informative and fun. It gets more use than the other three hundred books on architecture lining our shelves.
Frank Gehry in Pop-Up by Jinny Johnson January 6, 2009 The book was damaged when I received it which cost me and additional $27.00 in shipping to replace it. The printing quality is really not up to par, nice concept but not thought through. Although Amazon exchange the book I would never purchase from them again with the extra costs of shipping I ended up paying for the book twice.
Nice gift January 5, 2009 My son who is an architecture student received this for Christmas and quickly perused and enjoyed the pop-up buildings. The rest of the family also enjoyed going through the book.

This item is a gift so I didn't take the wrapping off. But from the appearance it is excellent.
A unique achievement perfect for pop-up book fans October 12, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
FRANK GEHRY IN POP-UP provides extraordinary 3-D creations through paper engineering that is outstanding: architectural marvels in pop-up replica accompanied by commentary on structure's history, design and construction. From colorful photos discussing Gehry's contributions to the extraordinary pop-ups themselves, FRANK GEHRY IN POP-UP is a unique achievement perfect for pop-up book fans.
