Frank Gehry- Artist Presentation

 Frank Gehry has been considered one of the greatest architects of our time. Gehry was born on February 28, 1929 in Toronto, Canada but later moved to the states where he attended the University of Southern California and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He started his architectural career working under Victor Gruen Associates and Pereira and Luckman and briefly in Paris working with Andre Remondet. In 1962 he started his own firm based in California which later turned into Gehry Partners LLC in 2002. He has designed noteworthy structures such as Walt Disney Concert Hall, Gehry House, Dancing House, EMP Museum, and Foundation Louis Vuitton.

Drawing In Space

 For this project my goal was to construct a high heel shoe. I wanted it to be bigger than an actual size to resemble a sculpture rather than actual shoe. I also wanted to design it in a way that gave it a unique style.  At first I struggled on the process of melting the steel to mold the shoe. It was difficult at times when pieces didn't come together as expected or when the brass did not melt properly to the steel and wasn't cohesive enough. However, things got better with time. It was fairly easy to bend the steel into the shapes I desired to emulate a shoe. I had to make a few adjustments to my design so the shoe could be constructed properly. This caused me to change my design of having a four sided heel to a heel with three sides. All in all, I am satisfied with my end product. Pinterest Board: https://pin.it/1gnE4Ww
