Built in 1984, Frank Gehry's California Aerospace Museum exemplifies his irreverent, exploded-then-reassembled sensibilities in architecture. Irregular, angular forms break from their implied boundaries and overlap in unexpected, provocative ways, seemingly defying basic precepts of order and structure in building engineering. The Los Angeles building is known for its metal cladding, reminiscent of airplane skin, and for the iconic jet fighter permanently poised as though leaping over the entrance wall. Each volume in this series of large, colorful architecture monographs focuses on a single building, considering its unique attributes and also looking at the work of the architect who designed it through this one example. The books are illustrated with large color and black and white photographs, detail views, drawings and schematics, and plan views.
