Frank Gehry received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Southern California in 1954. Los Angeles was in the middle of a post war-housing boom and the work of pioneering modernists. His work for Mr. Gruen was interrupted because he had to join the military services. After serving in the United States Army he entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design where he had studied city planning, but he was unhappy with the major due to its vagueness, so he just finished out one year without completing a graduate degree. Frank Gehry work as an architect and urban planner in several architecture practices before establishing his own firm in 1962, Frank O. Gehry and Associates, Inc. Since creating his own firm, Gehry's architectural career has spanned three decades and he established public and private buildings in America, Japan, and Europe. The Simpson’s based an episode on Frank Gehry where they showed his design process.
