GEHRY, WHO GREW UP IN TORONTO, AND ART MAGNATE DAVID MIRVISH
PLAN A MASSIVE, MIXED-USE COMPLEX, INTENDED TO SERVE AS BOTH MENS’ LEGACY.
When Frank Gehry was a kid, he would walk down Toronto’s
King Street, collecting wood shavings that he would use to build “cities” in
his grandma’s back yard--or so goes the legend, established in Salon’s 1999
profile. On Monday, the 83-year-old LA transplant announced he will return to
King Street--this time, to build a very literal city.
