With superstar architects designing everything from Vodka Bottles to Bathtubs, and an increased Global Obsession with surgically modifying our bodies, one wonders when Architects will start designing people”¦
Dont tell anyone else but I am not ashammed to tell you that I too have had my eyebrows "shaped." Would I still qualify for that Chinese Beauty Contest?
Could you imagine the grotesque creations designers could come up with in an effort to out-do each other? How about cubist people? Louvred foreheads (for better brain ventilation)? Translucent skin (so you can see the 'guts' of the project)? Who knows what a Gehry nose would look like... Or a Hadid butt...
