Frank Gehry is a winning architect based in Los Angles. Today he is 70-year-old and ended up re-envisioning with the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). As a child he visited the AGO often, and the effect of those visits on him and his future career was significant. The remaking of AGO allows Toronto to gather some of the benefits of his huge talent before it’s all too late.

One of Gehry’s early sources of career inspiration was the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), known as the father of Scandinavian modernism. Alvar  loves the gently curving light-color wood, and these clean and airy architectural lines, can be sensed at the newly refurbished AGO. Due to this fact Gehry thought of Aalto when he designed the spiraling plywood-faced staircase for the main entry hall is irrelevant. The newly transfigured AGO is simply gorgeous.
