Culture and Pedagogy: lessons from the revolutionary spatiality of Frank Gehry

Abstract

The article, emerging from researches that investigate
the connections between culture and pedagogy, introduces a discussion about possibilities offered by architecture to reflect on intellectual movements inspired by post-structuralist thought. The analysis focus is Sidney Pollack’s documentary Sketches of Frank Gehry. The prevalent visual textuality of contemporary ways of using urban space, Frank Gehry’s language and his creative architectural operations are discussed. It is understoodthat while searching for the limits of language, artists, as well as researchers, rummage the limits of our world and teach us to revolutionize
life on a daily basis.
