Frank Gehry reveals a neighbourhood dispute in today's Dezeen Weekly newsletter

The latest edition of our Dezeen Weekly newsletter includes an interview with Frank Gehry in which he discusses annoying the neighbours of his Santa Monica home.

Gehry has discussed how his seminal 1978 home in Santa Monica apparently caused a stir in an exclusive interview with PIN-UP magazine to mark the publication's 30th issue.

He explains how the project was the start of his use of unusual materials and deconstructed forms that would become his trademark.

Readers are torn, with one saying of the house "It's hideous! I like it!".
