Content: CATIA was developed by Dassault Systems, a subsidiary of the French aircraft manufacturer of Mirage jet fighters; however, CATIA has been continuously used to support the entire design process, from conceptualization through manufacturing, in a non-proprietary way that allows data to be interchanged. Dassault Aviation also relied on CATIA for the design and production of the Rafale jet fighter and the Falcon jet. The discovery of CATIA enables Frank Gehry to be more creative with his sketching and his ideas. The CATIA process demonstrated in a series of images of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

THE BILBAO MUSEUM AS CONTEMPORARY CATHEDRAL
Bilbao has now been become a pilgrimage destination as a culture capital. Just as Santiago de Compostela did for religious devotees during the Middle Age, the Guggenheim museum of Bilbao seems to cause rapture among those who reach it.

Gehry chose titanium rather than troublesome limestone as a skin, because he likes the way that titanium shimmers when the light reflects on it and it becomes alive. Frank said “I grew up as a modernist.
