This project transforms Frank Gehry's architectural language into a tapestry of light and movement generated by artificial intelligence.

A fusion of art, technology, and architecture reinvents the Guggenheim Bilbao. Through October 19, 2025, multimedia artist Refik Anadol presents Living Architecture: Gehry, an audiovisual installation that transcends the boundaries between the physical and the digital.

Anadol's Los Angeles-based studio has developed the Large Architecture Model (LAM), an AI system trained over months on a vast collection of open-access images, sketches, and plans of Gehry's work. The result is a constant metamorphosis of shapes and colors that seem to breathe and evolve before the viewer's eyes.

The immersive experience is further enhanced by Kerim Karaoglu's soundscape, which weaves together AI-generated sounds and recordings made inside the museum to create an immersive symphony.

What makes this installation unique is its focus on data as pigment. In six interconnected chapters, from Data Universe to Machine Hallucinations and Dreams, Anadol explores how information evolves into an architectural imagination. Each stage represents a journey from data collection to the transformation of spatial constraints into fluid, speculative architectures.

But Living Architecture: Gehry is not limited to the sensory experience. In an adjacent gallery, visitors can delve into Anadol's creative process, discovering how AI learning and the use of ethically sourced data combine with sustainable practices.

This approach not only honors Gehry's legacy, but also invites reflection on the role of memory and digital design in today's world.
