The full transformation of Gehry's work is clearly seen in the Lewis building. The Lewis building was mainly done on the computer using two different architects each with their own opinion. It is necessary to distinguish Lynn’s idea of the digital versus that of Gehry and also between the conceptual in Lynn and the phenomenal in Gehry.
The invocation of the digital part is important for the understanding of the evolution of the Lewis Building. This building went through a huge evolution from 1997 up until 2000. The final model was done in 2000, where there was a little bit of an argument over whether they should go with the digital or the analogue. The final product showed many traces that were taken from all of Gehry's previous projects that were discussed earlier on. (Eisenman, 260-265)
