## What it is

The opening shows Frank Gehry's scribbles in black on an orange background, and the title SCULPTING grows into huge letters as you scroll. The story is split into interactive chapters (like 'Designing a Space for Music' and 'Reinventing the Organ'), with narration by Gehry himself and music by the LA Phil.

## What it’s for

For someone making a digital museum exhibition or feature who wants to tell the story of a building in chapters, with sound and object details.

## Benefits

- the architect's sketches as the opening image
- short chapters with a caption for each object (title, date, size)
- narration and music inside the story itself

## Caveats

- The site asks for a click to turn sound on and works best with it on.
- Videos and animations are heavy on a slow connection.
