The Legend of Frank Gehry's Fish

The story begins in Kensington Market nearly a century ago. This was during the hard days of the Great Depression and the Second World War. Kensington was still known as the “Jewish Market” back then, filled with synagogues and delis and market shops. It was a hub for Toronto’s growing Jewish population — the biggest ethnic minority in what was still a very British city.

Als ich den Beitrag plante, konnte ich nicht wissen, dass zeitnah der berühmte Architekt der Marta, Frank Gehry, mit 96 Jahren sterben würde. So hat der Artikel auch eine gewisse Aktualität.

Born Frank Owen Goldberg on 28 February 1929, to a working-class Jewish family in Toronto, Canada, Gehry was a relatively late bloomer as an architect. He moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1940s, where he attended the University of Southern California, studying ceramics, after a brief stint in the US army.
