Take an architecture class taught by Frank Gehry

ā€œYouā€™d think Iā€™d know when to quit,ā€ an 87-year-old Frank Gehry says at the end of the MasterClass trailer announcing his foray into digitally streamed education. Not only has Gehry decided not to call it a career yet, but he is taking the extensive knowledge he has learned along the way and using it as the basis for 15+ video lessons aboutĀ architecture.

For anyone who has ever been interested in getting a glimpse into the creative process of one of the worldā€™s most famous living architects, a new seminar from the digital education platform MasterClass will allow you to do just that.

Frank Gehry will provide a comprehensive look into his creative process and provide insight into how and why he did things the way he did throughout his career. For $90, those who enroll in the class will hear from Gehry himself about topics ranging in breadth fromĀ his design philosophy toĀ his fascination with the fold as a design element to how to deal with a clientā€™s rejection.

Gehry joins an impressive MasterClass lineup that already includes a cooking class taught by Chef Gordon Ramsay, a film scoring class taught by Hans Zimmer, and a tennis class taught by Serena Williams.
