I am somewhat perplexed as to how FG’s residence is even a candidate for the 25 year award. I will not argue about its importance in the career of FG, nor in the development post-modern architecture. But it rings more as (another) celebration of Gehry’s work, especially since such a small percentage of the public have ever stepped foot inside of it. There are plenty of private homes that have stood the test of time with great spaces. With the AIA choosing this home, it feels like they’re more interested in giving FG another award than choosing something with more public notoriety.
