His buildings are much different than regular modern buildings of today. He works on large scales. Though the fist part of his career started out in a pratice, Frank O. Gehry and Associates in 1963. Which followed to the firm Gehry & Krueger Inc. Which employed a large number of senior architects who had extensive experience in the technical development of building systems and construction documents, and who are highly qualified in the management of complex projects.
After that he changed his career to an artistically directed atelier. His deconstructed architectural style began in the late 1970s.
Much of Gehry's work falls within the style of Deconstructivism , which is also referred to as post-structuralist in nature for its ability to go beyond current modalities of structural definition. Deconstructivism now spreads through the field of architecture and has influenced almost every contemporary architect in the world. Gehry is best known for his curvy, metallic wave-form museums in Bilbao, Seattle, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, but it all started with strange impulses applied to his own traditional little Santa Monica house in the late 1970s. Frank Gehry’s house in Santa Monica came before its time as a harbinger of the Deconstructivist movement.
Deconstructivist structures are not required to reflect specific social or universal ideas, such as speed or universality of form, and they do not reflect a belief that form follows function. Gehry's own Santa Monica residence is a commonly cited example of deconstructivist architecture, as it was so drastically divorced from its original context, and in such a manner as to subvert its original spatial intention.
