flag Renowned architect Frank Gehry, known for iconic buildings like the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, has died at 96 from a brief respiratory illness. flag Among his notable works is the Vontz Center for Molecular Studies at the University of Cincinnati, completed in 1999, featuring a dynamic, non-rectilinear design with angled planes, a central atrium, and skylights. flag Though clad in brick—a rare choice for Gehry—the building exemplifies his innovative approach to form and light. flag Funded by a $5 million donation from Albert Vontz, the center houses advanced laboratories and reflects Gehry’s lasting impact on modern architecture.
