Rating: Summary: If not on the web Review: This book basically chronicles Gehry's recent works. i would say from about the early nineties to now and beyond. Both 'The complete works" and "Gehry Talks" are the core of my collection of images and text of Gehry. 'Flowing in all Directions' picks up where those two tomes left off. Some of the projects include plans and models for a renovated Venice Internationale Airport, a Hotel in Korea, and more I had not read about in any publication or press at the time of this posting. It's a hard buy for the suggested $75.00 retail price--but I've seen it listed for fifty. If you like his work and are new to it, I'd pick up either of the two books I mentioned above first----you'll get more background conceptually and biographically. If you salivate at any inqling of his name or work----this is a good choice.
