LOS ANGELES (AP) — Groundbreaking architect Frank Gehry who was behind the acclaimed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, and Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles has died. He was 96. The chief of staff at Gehry Partners LLP confirms he died Friday in his home in Santa Monica after a brief respiratory illness. Gehry grew up in Ontario and spent the early years of his career struggling professionally. His later works were often notable for striking curves and other touches. Gehry received architecture’s top honor, the Pritzker Prize, in 1989.
