Sculpting Harmony
Sculpting Harmony is a groundbreaking interactive exhibition that celebrates the Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by one of the world’s most influential architects, Frank Gehry. Created by Getty and digital experience agency Resn, it showcases a selection of the remarkable Frank O. Gehry papers that were acquired by the Getty Research Institute in 2017 and highlights Getty’s dedication to the study of the remarkable architectural journey and multidisciplinary design process behind the landmark building, affectionately known as the “living room of Los Angeles”
Combining interviews, archival materials, 3D graphics, and breathtaking aerial photography curated by Getty, Sculpting Harmony uses Gehry’s original, hand-crafted models as a visual motif to guide the visitor through the creative process behind that embraced technology ahead of its time to create this iconic structure. From initial concept to final construction, the interactive narrative brings the vision, challenges, and triumphs of Frank Gehry and his team to life.
The site is not only a window into one of the world’s most visionary architects and his creative process, but also makes Getty’s research and scholarship accessible to a broader audience.
