And Louis Vuitton Foundation, wow... that's just fancy stuff! πŸ€‘ But seriously, Frank Gehry was genius, he knew how to mix art and architecture in perfect way. He wasn't afraid to be weird and try new things, which is why his designs are still so popular today. 😎

i love how gehry's work blends functionality with artistic expression, it's not just about building something that serves its purpose, but also about creating an experience for people πŸŒ† his commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging norms is so inspiring 🎯 i'm curious to see what the world of architecture looks like without him in it... will we ever find another "starchitect"? πŸ€”
 
Can't believe this genius is finally gone 🀯 at 96, but honestly who needs a architect that old just to look at some old buildings? I mean, it's not like he was still pushing boundaries or anything... he was already an icon by the time I was in school and his designs are just getting old (no pun intended). And have you seen those museums? they're just overpriced tourist traps πŸ€‘. I'm sure the Guggenheim in Bilbao is still full of rich people taking selfies with the weird sculpture... not exactly changing the world, if you ask me πŸ˜’
 
can you believe he's finally resting on his laurels 🀣 at 96? i mean, who needs to die before they can even get a decent spot in the hall of fame? anyway, his designs are still fire πŸ”₯ and i'm not surprised he got the "starchitect" title - that name was just waiting for someone as iconic as him. but honestly, it's kinda weird how he's getting all this love now... like, didn't we know about guggenheim bilbao since 1997? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ still, you can't deny the dude brought a lot of coolness to modern architecture, and his work will be remembered for ages. rest in peace, frank πŸ‘Š
 
can't believe frank gehry is gone πŸ€• but his designs are still changing the game πŸ’₯ he was all about pushing boundaries & creating something new, not just some cookie cutter buildings. i mean who else could make a museum like guggenheim bilbao look cool again? 😎 and that louis vuitton foundation in france? wow! it's like art meets architecture 🀯 his legacy will live on thru the next gen architects who wanna make a statement
 
πŸ˜’ What's next? Another legendary architect kicking the bucket πŸš£β€β™‚οΈ? 96 is old, even for Frank Gehry... I mean, who needs that many years to create all those amazing buildings anyway? πŸ’β€β™€οΈ Still, you've gotta respect the guy - his designs are out of this world (literally). Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum is a masterpiece, and the Louis Vuitton Foundation in France looks like something out of a Bond villain's lair πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ. Guess that's what happens when you're pushing the boundaries of architecture... until someone else comes along and knocks 'em down 😎.
