Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Firm: Gehry Partners, LLP

Owner: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum & Foundation

Location: Bilbao, Spain

Upending preconceived notions of what art museums can be, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao’s revolutionary form was the iconic catalist to redefine and revitalize Spain’s Basque region while supporting a wide range of cultural initiatives. Conceived at the pivotal moment between analog and digital practice, the museum has been an integral part of urban life in Bilbao since opening in 1997, persisting as a symbol of the power of good, human-centered design’s ability to embolden creativity and fundamentally reshape communities.
