Most Clients WANT what Gehry designs. The same is true in this case. He is solving a problem. By the way, Gehry's real legacy will be how he changed the way projects are delivered. The software he has developed has revolutionized the way architects, contractors and owners keep track of change orders. Gehry doesnt pretend his buildings are cheap, but costs dont run away unlike other architects. Enough with the sarcastic remarks about Gehry and how shocking this design is.

Its got soul. I think the designer must be African-American. It is also one of the few designs not to show thousands of dollars of designer italian furniture and mock "modern art" in the interiors. Not that African-Americans don't appreciate fine art and design, but be honest before you convey how someone should live in your euro-centric model. If of course your going to render it with black people of the LOWER 9th ward. This is a great design. Its got soul. I think the designer must be African-American.

I thought it was by Michael Graves but it must be by Brad Pitt. Watch the roofs fly off during the next hurricane. I thought it was by Michael Graves but it must be by Brad Pitt.

What happens when the next Hurricane Katrina comes? needs to be made of something more sturdy. Building with earth seems more appropriate, if they have got one eye on the budget.
