This book celebrates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details the design process that is an intrinsic part of Gehry's revolutionary approach to architecture. Art historian and artist Coosje van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she has uncovered scores of fascinating drawings and working photographs, published here for the first time.
