Expressionism from what I understand, is the type of (post-) modernism that somewhat breaks the rule of “form follow function.” As modernism the form seems to be very restrict with simple form of geometric combine with the usage of honest materials. But for Frank Gehry is completely different, as he seems to think of architecture in a different perspective. He thinks modernism is too perfect, and life is not about that, so he designs his building with different style, expressing the forms to be so flow and unique.One of a great example of his work is the Gugenheim Hermitage Museum. it is said to be the combination of his own house and the fish thingy he designed, it is the skin that make u feel dazzle and extremely expressive. The form of the construction is very unique in a way that no geometries actually can be defined. Although the forms are so flow and extremely expressed, the plan is not. It is beautifully ordered and is quite symmetrical and that is the aesthetic of expressionism.
Frank Gehry said architecture is like frozen music. It expresses of the symphony and the flow of music, which is clearly expressive. This work is successful and form does not follow function, in a way that most Modernist is not work. It makes people want to access the building whether the spaces inside are great or not.
