Back in the 90's, I had the pleasure to meet and work with Gary. On and off, for about 10 years, my company did about 6 projects. My company supplied a number of custom light fixtures. Gary's mine was always designing even in the middle of the project his latest project.
That’s an incredible story. I bet you take great pride in knowing you played a role in these buildings. And I’ve often heard that he was always reworking designs right up to the end.
When designing the back of the Guggenheim, he tried to mirror the scale of the traditional architecture so it did not feel entirely out of place. He also used stone on these parts of the building to better blend in with the rest of the neighborhood buildings.
