that's quite a defensive answer--as if he knows what he's doing isn't entirely ethical. upaid, ok, if your a high school students or just learning, maybe. but upaid after college--ridiculous. who can live in new york for 3 months without pay? not everyone can be supported by their parents.
"Jeffrey Kipnis, pointing to Jacques Herzog: “They don’t have any unpaid interns.” - i absolutely loved that remark
truth be told - and i like eisenman as an architectural figure - Pete is not a business man, and it's been known for a while his business is always in trouble.
The problem with the business of architecture is that it's run by architects, not "businessmen"
pete pete pete...
when i worked in DE, we even had high school interns with zero experience, making a few hundred euros a month before heading off to college... they make models just as well as that dude whose visa you just sponsored (uh, not expensive) and don't have $90k AA loans to pay off...
you really are doing yer unpaid interns a great service, forcing them to live in a hovel. maybe they are lucky, living off mom and pop's dime like you got to. but it forces them to live with a strict budget and learn to forgo neccessities like food or heating. class act! i'm sure all your republican friends give you mad street cred for being so hard on the foreigners. but it's cool, cos you know what you are doing. all 70 year old adults should hire unpaid labor! seriously, it's a great business model. maybe you could have them pick some cotton while they're at it... cos that's a professional experience as well!
And they got mad at Larry Summers at Harvard for his comment....this is one of the most ignorant things i have heard in a long time.
Here is the video of the conversation...the question can be found about 1 hr in (maybe 1:07?) I can't figure out how to download it and cut a clip out to post to youtube, but if anyone knows how to do that, please post the link...
no one cares about his work anymore. this is the guy who spent years trying to make architecture an autonomous discipline by making axons. maybe bringing money into it corrupts the purity of the "discipline."
now he talks about stadiums in the form of native american symbols. I´m sorry, did you say "native american?" I couldn´t hear you because of that bow tie. if you work for him you obviously aren´t in it for the money.
I thought that the experience of working with "Peter Eisenman" would be just great when I was hired for 6 months for an unpaid internship.but iwas wrong.the work that is produced in the office has nothing substantial.and more important is no design and line of thought for any project..he Thinks that he knows to talk and use big words but he doesn't know that he does not make any sense out of it..Right now I am doing my under graduate thesis and the topic I have chosen is "critical analysis on Peter Eisenman's work From an interior perspective" his work is non functioning and it's just more sculptural and iconic which has no relevance to the function of the building.

Sounds like he represented himself accurately to the audience = http://www.cracked.com/article_15822_5-douchebag-behaviors-explained-by-science.html
Asshole, foreign students or not..... the foreign student thing just gives him the out and the ability to argue he's doing them a favor.
douchebag, does he mean that interns are not 'people'?
like pete, if i could be like pete!
i wanna be i wanna be i wanna be like pe-eeete
(irrelevant!)
the difference between Eisenman and HdeM (besides that fact that they pay) is that HdeM dont design shit

Do you think if an intern wants to leave before the three months they have to give him two weeks notice?

I heard he was sued in the 80's for not paying his employees while arriving to work one day in a new Porche.
Absolute and complete rubbish. Work for a small or well known large firm, learn the same things, and get PAID for doing it!!!! What a novel idea!
