      A thought about comment 06/04/2009. Saying that ""Leading Minds" have nothing to offer as Architecture other than novelty and empty fame," you have rejected an individual process case of the exploration and self-satisfaction for an architect's children - his creations. There's only empty fame one seeks for it desperately; such mindset imposes the design process.

      Certainly the person who gives out his comment hasn't had an opportunity to personally visit a Gehry's building, and most likely Gehry's Firm office too, to really see how processes formulate there, with love, joy, and passion.

      The comment, therefore, is sounded with a lack of heavyweight conviction.

      Whether you like his work or not, he has changed the face of architecture forever. Only time will tell whether he will be remembered as the Frank Lloyd Wright of our time.... i think he has pushed the envelope in a field filled with too many background buildings. i'm only afraid that new up-and-coming talented architects will not be able to express themselves, do to the economic crisis, like he did...

      The adoration of this tasteless charlatan is further proof that the "Leading Minds" have nothing to offer as Architecture other than novelty and empty fame. History will judge his work as little more than a mindless, spastic reflex away from the dehumanization of Bauhaus "lemming boxes," merely twisting those forms into a surrealistic, contorted nightmare of post-war nothingness. He cannot even claim their soulless efficiency.

      I just took a look at some of this guy's work... I see a very strong Timothy O'Leary influence.

      One of the BEST interviews. I NOW have a better understanding and appreciation of what a Architect, a REAL GOOD Architect, HAS to DO to do THEIR JOB.

      This guy is a Class act, that others out there (from ALL professions) need to learn from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I like this guy, after listening to 5 minutes of this interview. He's talking straight forward with on the street reality without the typical philosophical BS that you have to listen from the "Extraordinaires".

      There's NO putting the cart in front of the horse with this guy. Something that owners and architects love to do to builders.

      I don't suppose you are likening some of their architecture to crumpled paper, or are you?
