Santa Monica Place is located two blocks from Santa Monica Beach along the popular pedestrian Third Street Promenade, one of Los Angeles County's premier retail destinations. The Gehry-designed mall, which underwent basic renovations in 1991 and 1996, reflected the completely enclosed retail style of its time. Because it interrupted the natural flow of pedestrian traffic, it became increasingly out of sync with Santa Monica's lively outdoor culture. Santa Monica, California, USA.

"The building industry has been slowly but steadily moving toward minimizing individual responsibility and away from producing architecture that solves clients' and communities' problems," offered Frank Gehry.
"I am dedicated to giving architects better control of the process so they can deliver the fruits of their imagination, which is what our clients expect. I have gathered a group of my friends together who believe in this mission as much as I do and who can help me find the solutions that will ultimately lead to better buildings throughout the world."

This group will work collectively with GT to realize and demonstrate better ways of achieving project outcomes: higher quality, more efficient, and cost effective projects.

The National Stadium Beijing for the 2008 Olympic summer games was designed by a consortium formed by Herzog & de Meuron, ARUP Sport, and the Beijing CAG Design Institute. Gehry Technologies provided a series of project specific design development workshops for the project teams, building on previous work done with the Arup team. The team built a parametric model in Digital Project of the stadium roof, beginning from wireframe roof geometry, and subsequently adding a suite of adaptable user components to build the box girder and connector element assemblies. The team then assessed different methods for curving the steel geometry in 3D space and compared resulting effects in detail. Photo courtesy Gehry Technologies

Most importantly, the alliance wants to ensure a context for professional work where the best designs and the best facilities can be realized.
