Abstract: Architect Frank Gehry's extraordinary building in the Basque country of northern Spain resembles a gigantic abstract sculpture in titanium, glass and limestone. Its luminous exterior is as visually stimulating as the cathedral-like atrium and the organic forms of the galleries--an artful complement to the building's artistic contents. Gehry discusses his design approach and the architectural evolution of the museum, from sketches, to computerized blueprints, to the completed project.
