Treatment script for an unproduced film. An English-language, feature-length treatment based on the 1965 Dutch short film co-written by René Daalder and his childhood friend (and noted architect) Rem Koolhaas, under the auspices of experimental film collective the 1, 2, 3 Group. Counting Jan de Bont and Robby Müller among its members, the 1, 2, 3 Group opposed the concept of the auteur, with each person in the group serving variously as writer, director, actor, and more on each production. The collective is perhaps best remembered today for "The White Slave" (1969), co-written by Koolhaas and Daalder. Self wrappers. Title page present, copyright date noted as 1978, with credit for Daalder. 48 leaves, with last page of text numbered 48. Xerographic duplication, rectos only.

Gehry has described drawing as his way of thinking aloud; Gehry Draws traces that thinking through 29 major projects, providing a privileged view of the creative practice of a master architect. More than 360 drawings (most of which are previously unpublished) and more than 400 additional illustrations chart the evolution of Gehry's images from marks on the page to three- dimensional models to completed buildings. Horst Bredekamp's introduction relates Gehry's drawing methods to the concept of disegno, as practised by Leonardo and Durer - not only the act of drawing and modelling, but also the dynamics of creative thinking. Gehry himself describes his method for Bredekamp in several explanatory sketches, and Bredekamp applies this to a study of drawings made for specific Gehry commissions. Virtual-reality filmmaker Rene Daadler and writer Mark Rappolt return this discussion to the twenty-first century, looking at, among other things, analog methods in the digital world of contemporary architecture. Gehry Draws is produced in collaboration with Frank Gehry and his team at Gehry Partners. Project synopses and commentary by Gehry and two of his Partners and Project Designers, Edwin Chan and Craig Webb, guide us through the full range of Gehry production, from the small details of window design to such large- scale undertakings as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
