Challenging Structure: Frank Gehry’s Peter B. Lewis Building

Young, smart students should come to this school and be forced to reassess what they think is true. And hopefully the building will help them do that. -Jim Glymph, Gehry Partners Photographs by Michael W. Sands. ©2002 by the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University.

		October 6, 2002 - February 24, 2003 This is an experiment. --Frank Gehry, architect The Peter B. Lewis Building is the new home of the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. Challenging Structure: Frank Gehry’s Peter B. Lewis Building is a celebration of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s provocative new neighbor—an exhibition focused on understanding the design process of this remarkable new building from conceptualization to construction. Included are the sketches, drawings and models Gehry developed with his studio and the staff and students of the Weatherhead School to reach a finished design. This exhibition will examine the way Gehry’s radical vision, Lewis’s desire for creating a building that could “affect change,” the needs of the students and staff, and an inspirational photograph of an Arizona canyon yielded Cleveland’s newest architectural marvel.
