      ab: The article focuses on Frank Gehry’s complex relationship with art and architecture, emphasizing how his work has been frequently misinterpreted through the lens of art rather than understood on its own architectural terms. Gehry’s engagement with contemporary art influenced his iterative, process-driven approach, but he consistently distinguished architecture’s practical demands—such as material heterogeneity and construction complexity—from the autonomy sought in sculpture. His pioneering use of CATIA software, originally developed for aerospace engineering, exemplifies his effort to manage architectural complexity rather than to create purely sculptural forms, leading to innovations in digital project management that have since been widely adopted beyond his practice. The article also situates Gehry’s career within broader cultural and technological shifts, noting tensions between architectural experimentation, commercial branding, and evolving ethical concerns about construction in the face of climate change.
