Summary: Frank Gehry is not your average architect. He has a history of creating bold, innovative and often controversial buildings that stand out, such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, which transformed the town it was built in but had some Spaniards wanting to lynch him.

Recently, Frank Gehry visited Sydney to unveil the designs for his first Australian project, a new building for the University of Technology in Sydney. Whilst he was in Australia, he sat down to talk with the ABC’s Geraldine Doogue about architecture, the reaction to some of his most iconic buildings, inspiration, negotiating with clients and something that keeps every architect up at night ... budgets.

Gehry also talks about the idea behind his latest commission for UTS, slated for construction in 2012. The building is named after Dr Chau Chak Wing, an Australia-Chinese businessman who has donated over $20 million towards the project.

Encyclopædia Britannica Article

architecture: Art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. The practice of architecture emphasizes spatial relationships, orientation, the support of activities to be carried out within a designed environment, and the arrangement and visual rhythm of structural elements, as opposed to the design of structural systems themselves (see civil engineering). Appropriateness, uniqueness, a sensitive and innovative response to functional requirements, and a sense of place within its surrounding physical and social context distinguish a built environment as representative of a culture's architecture.
