Description

Located at the center of the German furniture manufacturing industry, Marta, the latest European Museum by Frank O. Gehry, opened in December 2004 to universal acclaim. Conceived as a laboratory for redefining the relationship between art, design, and industry, this Gehry masterwork houses art galleries, a library, educational facilities, and conference and cultural meeting rooms.While the gallery is, for Gehry, an uncharacteristic neutral white cube, it is wrapped in a series of bulging curvatures creating a dome that announces his distinctive architectural signature.

This book, which contains previously unpublished material on the design and construction of the museum, offers insight into the working process of arguably the world's most famous architect, and his ideas about the shifting boundaries between industry, design, art, and architecture.
