I’d be very happy with this if my home had been flattened by a hurricane. As for the pinkness, well that’s what pots and brushes are for. I do wonder how long the solar panels would last in the next hurricane, though.

Back to roots for Gehry – with solar panels intead of chain-link, softer colours and painted gwb.

What happens in the next hurricane? This house doesn’t look very solid, the solar roofs look like they are ripped off fast.

OK, yes it’s good that this scheme is up and running and yes aesthetics don’t really mean crap all when you’ve lost your home BUT… surely there was some point to hiring Gehry? Or was it just down to having a Starchitect’s name on the project? When you have one of the highest paid Architects in the world design you a house, you should expect not only a functional home but a beautiful one, too.

I don't like Gehry that much, but I dislike obnoxious internet nobodies even more. I also dislike it when architects say something "is boring". Hey, you want to be entertained, Mr. Fancy Architect? What about going to the circus laughing at the clowns? This is a house for relocating victims of a hurricane, not a cutsey project for some bland competition.
