    This book presents five lesser-known buildings by Canadian American architect and designer Frank Gehry (born 1929) from an early stage in his decades-long career. Gehry is best known for his iconic building designs including the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Dancing House in Prague. Photographed by the renowned Swedish architectural photographer Johan Dehlin, this selection of lesser-known early works, built in the late 1970s and early 1980s, laid the foundation for Gehry's international breakthrough a decade later. During this early period in his career, Gehry experimented with low-cost construction and "off the shelf" materials in creating a series of highly inventive projects in the Los Angeles area. Johan Dehlin's previously unseen pictures of Gemini G.E.L. (1979), Spiller House (1980), Indiana Avenue Houses (1981), Benson House (1984) and Norton House (1984) are accompanied by newly reproduced drawings of the architect and a series of texts that provide fresh critical perspectives.
