Hahaha Sparking intrigue to the topic. But yeah you'd be my first suspect since you mentioned before in another thread you went to TU Delft, and you're in the Netherlands, etc. :)

Kind already means kid in Dutch/German/Yiddish, and Libeskind or rather Liebeskind means love child in German I guess and sweetheart in Yiddish, not sure something like that or other way around.

It couldn't be Patrik, he can't get both feet out of his mouth at the same time.

Unless he's posting as JawkneeMusic.

Whoever he or she is, if the rumour is true, I hope they're not avoiding the action over in "guess the plan"

I work in an office of 20+ and I guarantee none of them have ever even heard of archinect. This must be a joke. No offense to the website, I've been here for 10+ years, but if you're chasing work and/or putting together big contracts, you don't have time for posting online.

Yes, but starchitects have to do something when flying all over the world to present slide shows to students, can't think of a better way to spend time waiting on airports :)

If it's not Brad Pitt I'll be disappointed. I mean I love architects, all of us, even though we all drive me crazy, but frankly I'm more interested in Pitt's opinions on most things <swoon>.

Aside from a tiny hammer and a couple hundred million Brad has nothing on me.

He's not really hammering, he's DIRECTING. Because he's from HOLLYWOOD. And he's wearing a watch to make sure the crew gets their mandated breaks because he's CARING. And he's wearing a T-shirt because he's SEXY. You guys are mean. ;-)

Are there any other Canadian starchitects besides Gehry?

Rando, some, but they are mostly starchitects within Canada only. Non have the philosophical presence of Rem, or Zaha, etc. We're modest quiet folks after all.

indeed. I once had a pint with one we could consider "star" a few years back. He was genuinely interested in my projects and what I had to say. As for true Canadian starchitect, outside of Franky... look no further that Safdie's glorious mustache.

Safdie's mustache is a wonder of the created world, indeed. Is Patkau a starchitect?

Someone should post that the starchitects Brad Pit commissioned who designed the ultra-modern houses following Katrina had no idea what they were doing in the hot, humid NO climate. As a result many of their houses are rotting and filled with mold and uninhabitable. Also the bizarre forms of many houses took displaced residents, who had already been severely traumatized, way out of their comfort zone. The Katrina Cottages, trite as some here think they may be, is what many residents wanted and were grateful for.

Feb 21, 18 10:59 am  ·

Yeah, Volunteer, I agree; I was really unhappy with most of the Katrina projects by Brad's gang. Not good, and in some cases straight up embarrassing - that one that was bent in the middle, maybe by DSR? Ugh. Horrid.
