Sketches of Frank Gehry is a 2006 American documentary film directed by Sydney Pollack and produced by Ultan Guilfoyle, about the life and work of the Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The film was screened out of competition at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. Pollack and Gehry had been friends and mutual admirers for years. The film features footage of various Gehry-designed buildings, including a hockey arena for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The film includes interviews with other noted figures. - Wikipedia
Frank Gehry has designed a multitude of different buildings, ranging from hockey arenas, museums, to even his own house (which he used extensively as a testbed). His design of architecture is very organic and sometimes even feels impossible (in the case of the Guggenheim Museum). It is so eye catching it has become the defining building of its location.
Throughout the documentary, he uses a method of prototyping that was very fast and clean. This method of prototyping engages the designer team and promotes collaboration. It is definitely a method that should be widely used.
