Summary:

This beautifully illustrated book (350 photos, sketches, maps, and works of art), developed under the direction of Frédéric Migayrou, shows the various stages of the project's development. Through their in-depth essays, leading art and architecture critics and historians analyze Gehry's building, destined to become a landmark in the history of Paris. From "The creative autonomy of form" by Horst Bredekamp to "The architecture of the embrace" by James S. Ackerman, the building, a "miracle of engineering prowess and architectural technique " (Irving Lavin) evokes "a materialized utopia, an island floating above the city ... a hybrid of expressionist spontaneity and technological complexity" ... All of Gehry's art consisting "of placing architecture in a state of indetermination from which the form escapes to be immediately reconfigured in a multiplicity of new images". (Frédéric Migayrou).
