Frank Ghery is 77 years old and his work is still very much in demand, having made his mark designing the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao Spain. His designs defy convention.

Another aspect of Mr. Gehry’s old-fashioned virtue is his concern for what will happen to his employees once he dies. When I ask him if his age adds greater urgency to picking projects and finishing projects, Mr. Gehry says, “No. I am not that megalomaniac. No, I think the day will come and . . .”

The Wall Street Journal has this fascinating interview with Ghery, where he talks about his life’s work and the reality of death.
