I can't believe that people don't see anything wrong with that form being so OBVIOUSLY ripped from Trubridge... even if the same process was used, i would have expected the form to be altered in some new way. If anyone would hang an action filled splash painting in a gallery, they would certainly be compared to Pollock. This is no different. Seriously!

Exactly. - why would he ? Maybe he would if he was bored, wasn't enthralled by the breif, so looks for a suitable current trend by other prominent designers, mods it a bit. . . and be done. next. Great discussion – how would we feel if David busted out a zig-zag folded cardboard chairsat Milan next year . . or a wave form Titanium roof for an Architectural project. Exactly. – why would he ?

Maybe he would if he was bored, wasn’t enthralled by the breif, so looks for a suitable current trend by other prominent designers, mods it a bit. . . and be done.

next.

I agree a firm such as the Gehry studio's need to be innovative - these are the people the world looks up to. The challenge of design in this day and age is to find a voice in a world where everything has been seemingly done. That is what makes a difference or makes a designer stand out from the rest (the ability to be yourself and not be similar) Re hashed ideas are so boring. I would say the accolade should go to the crafts person who made this beautiful form.. Tomas is the one who realized this piece, sure he was under instruction from Gehry Studio but one wonders just how much instruction a non crafts based design studio could give on such a complex structure.. Maybe a few sketches...... Hmmmmm – If I was David Trubridge I would be offended. I agree a firm such as the Gehry studio’s need to be innovative – these are the people the world looks up to.
