Gehry House
The Gehry house has been constructed as a "anti house" the additions elements are made to the house are introduced a genuinely subversive element into the complacment decadence of the popular American architecture.
It was then expanded by wrapping the old house with a metal slipcover creating a new set of spaces around its perimeter. The antirefinement type enclosure is built of the most mundane materials, corrugated aluminum metal siding, plywood, glass and chain-link fencing, and deliberately has randomly slanted lines and angled protrusions.
