Frank Gehry: 'Don't call me a starchitect'
I don\'t know who invented that fucking word \'starchitect\'. In fact a journalist invented it, I think. I am not a \'star-chitect\', I am an ar-chitect..." Just 10 minutes into the interview, Frank Owen Gehry, the world\'s most feted building designer, is already a bit irate. A short, owlish man, who looks younger than his 80 years, he speaks quietly when left to his own devices, and meanders, never quite finishing one train of thought before it segues into the next. When he is tackling something more contentious, though, he relaxes and becomes animated. His head rises and so does his voice. He even smiles. This is a man who likes a scrap.
