Now known worldwide for its trademark curves, it's nearly impossible to imagine anybody but Frank Gehry designing Disney Hall. One critic recently lauded the exuberance of the building's design and "The way it seems eager to expand outward like a bunch of balloons in a child's fist."
Gehry called it a sailing ship.
“I like the image of it as something moving. Our culture is so filled with movement compared to a hundred years ago. Everything is moving or flying," said Gehry.

I think that a higher level of architectural design explores the idea of structures that do appear to be able to change, or in fact do change! Architecture that is less about a fixed object and more about movement (as frank said) seem to be much more in tune with the world in which we live today, and will certainly be living in tomorrow. This is the approach that I have been taking with my work for years.
