### Gehry Residence

Me too 

1 Jan 1978

Gehry Residence, Santa Monica, United States

Description

The **Gehry Residence** is a manifesto of nascent **deconstructivism**. Gehry enveloped an existing colonial house with a new structure, using raw, industrial materials: **corrugated metal**, **chain-link fencing**, plywood, and unconventional glass. This radical approach breaks architectural conventions, creating a dialogue between the old and the new, the finished and the unfinished. It is here that Gehry began to refine his signature, characterized by fragmented forms and an 'unfinished' aesthetic.
