you're kidding, right, mdz? are you just basing this on what you think of when you think of these architects. 'cause if you took 5 minutes to actually look at their output over the course of their careers, you'd see how silly this is.
see the fox and the hedgehog, via isaiah berlin, translated to arch by colin rowe and fred koetter in collage city..."the hedgehog, concerned with the primacy of the single idea, and the fox, preoccupied with multiplicity of stimulus' - a different understanding in which instead of a one liner, rowe and koetter think of it as an obsession with a primary idea. of course, like in most of rowe's work, what is apparently presented as a binary very soon gives primacy to the second term- in this case, the fox.
hey mike brady was really pushing things in new directions. remember the office building for that cosmetics heiress? it was to be a huge pink lipstick shape, then it changed to a make-up compact where the top floor hinges open .. and this was right in stride with claus oldenburg's work of the time. brady really could have blown things wide open, so sad that job fell apart.
One liner architects
I am talking about those who; do the thing they do over and over.
Daniel Libeskind with the mutations of Holocaust Museum of Berlin,
Frank O. Gehry with, you know what,
Richard Meier with white roses and red ties,
Zaha Hadid with her melted swiss cheese,
OMA graduates with OMA mutations,
I am sure there are much more!
wright with that prairie stuff...
and the 'organic' thing...
and then that triangle thing later on....
hack.
[kidding, of course. i kind of hope mdz is, too. boiling these accomplished architects careers down to one trick is pretty ludicrous.]
agreed.
Michael Graves

Do I have to explain if I am kidding or not?
You either play or you don't.

that is true FRaC - the big screen version of mike brady certainly fits this description to a 'T'
