dave c,Yes, I'd classify Gehry as a sculptor who makes buildings. Unfortunately, architecture is so rigourous, in my view it's indecisive and iimpulsive thereby resulting in neither great sculpture nor great architecture. He is certianly a "name brand" and a celebrity among architects, and certainly light years more useful and creative than tv fluff like Paris Hilton.
As for comments on Post moderism, Gehry had to show disdain for cohesive architectural concepts, and especially history- to be able to justify his floppy, impulsive style. There's been this strange insistence that post-moderism is dead and his work is the next thing- nbut to me it's a revolution of fashionability and is so personally arcane it will not survive him. His justifications for the fish shapes are meaningless- they're merely anti-architectural and distinctive to his design.
Cheers,
