In 1991, Gehry started working on the Guggenheim Museum in Balboa (1991-1997). This museum was an opportunity for Gehry to prove that the program that was established at Vitra, was applicable to a large-scale work. Gehry likes to work with freedom an this building in specific helps weild the symbol of the city’s future. His work is considered, at this point, new work that the city desires. This building has a lot of symbols, it embodies Bilboa’s optimism and tries to be for its citizens, a constant visible reminder of new goals. It reveals Gehry’s talent as an urbanist, his contribution in the choice of the site, was determinative. This building was one of the first buildings that Gehry had used a program on the computer in order to finalize his drawings. (Eisenman, 302-303)
