Frank Gehry, Architect of Walt Disney Concert Hall and Warner Bros.’ Second Century, Passes Away at Age 96

Frank Gehry, the celebrated architect renowned for his imaginative and unconventional designs, has passed away at 96, according to Meaghan Lloyd, his chief of staff. His death followed a brief respiratory illness.

Although often regarded as a leading figure in postmodern architecture, Gehry himself resisted such labels, favoring a style that defied classification. Throughout his career, he created buildings that were celebrated for their unique, often playful forms.

Among his final major projects was the Warner Bros. Second Century building, which serves as the corporate headquarters for Warner Bros. Discovery and is located near the historic studio lot. Gehrys influence on contemporary architecture remains profound, with his signature approach leaving a lasting mark on the urban landscape.
