Gary's work has been described as looking more like sculptures than buildings.
When Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes profiled him in 2002, Pelley said, quote, Unquote.
We're going to listen back to his 2004 interview with Terry Gross.
At the time, his latest project was the music pavilion at Chicago's new 24 1โ2-acre Millennium Park.
Like his Guggenheim Museum, the exterior of his music pavilion has curving, billowing, floating shapes, shapes that actually are made of heavy, hard steel.
Terry asked him how he started working with those steel forms.

The world-famous architect died last week.
After a break, we remember Raul Malo, lead singer of the Mavericks, who died this week at age 60.

Last weekend, Raul Malo and his veteran roots music group, The Mavericks, were scheduled to play at a tribute concert in their honor at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
The concert was held as planned and among the other genre artists taking part were Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, and Jim Lauderdale.
But Raul Malo himself wasn't there.
Fighting cancer for the last few years, he watched from his hospital room last weekend as a special feed of the concert was streamed to his bedside.
Raul Malo died Monday at age 60.
Raul Malo was born in 1965, the son of Cuban immigrants in Miami.
In his early 20s, he became the guitarist and lead singer for the Mavericks, a genre-bending band that lived up to its rebellious name.
They played punk clubs in Miami Beach, but with a mixture of music that embraced not only Latin rhythms, but roots music, rock and roll, and country.
