Frank Gehry, considered one of the most influential architects of the century, has died aged 96.

Gehry is known for his avant garde, experimental style of architecture. His titanium-covered design of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain catapulted him to fame in 1997.

He sealed his daring reputation years before that when he redesigned his own home in Santa Monica, California, using materials like chain-link fencing, plywood and corrugated steel.

“Gehry is survived by two daughters from his first marriage, Leslie and Brina; his wife, Berta Isabel Aguilera, and their two sons, Alejandro and Samuel,” his chief of staff Meaghan Lloyd told the BBC on Friday.
