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 :)

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. ;-)

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.
Donna Sink

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.
