People who aren't architects are those who like his work. They see that it's sculptural and not a box, so they remember it. However, most architects HATE his work (at least the ones I know). Frank Gehry falls into the same trap that many artists do. They make one outstanding building, and it becomes the fad, and then everyone wants one. So instead of keeping the creative integrity to that one project, he ended up mass-producing these projects. Commercializing I do agree somewhat with absolutesardonics, not every form must have an obvious purpose. "Architecture as art?" It's an eternal question in architectural theory. Designers will fall on either side of the fence, with a few right on it. I disagree, I don’t think EVERYONE loves Gehry. People who aren’t architects are those who like his work.
