Architect: Gehry Partners, LLP Products: Custom-engineered Curtain Wall Location: Toronto, Ontario Frank Gehry’s work has been considered by many to be the most profound architecture of our time. And the Art Gallery of Ontario is no exception. Cited as the first place Mr. Gehry experienced art as a child, the Gallery’s re-design was a very special project. One of the main features of the Gallery is its sweeping glass facade. The 92,000 square-foot, custom curtain wall is comprised of warped and faceted glass panels that bend and twist on a curved glulam timber frame. In addition to creating a full-scale test mock-up, the curtain wall design also required extensive development and testing through physical modeling and the use of both computer design and analysis software applications.
