In a typical year, [Humphreys & Partners] designs between 12 and 15 percent of all apartments built in the United States. [...]
Instead of starting from scratch on every project, he came up with the idea of “commoditizing” the process. He’d have a base product, like The Big House, that could be tweaked to fit in various markets throughout the country. It simplified things and kept costs down, giving Humphreys & Partners a competitive advantage.

Truly a real Architect who will be remembered forever.
I threw up in mouth, a lot.
i bet Jerry Jones and him hang out and both probably think Hardy is a leader of men.
I have to say: I love men, I love fashion, but I hate the fashion trend right now of very tight suit-like pants on men. Every man I see wearing them looks like their suit is too tight, which makes them look a bit like a little boy, which is a HUGE turn off.
John Cusack in Con-Air wore his suit pants *perfectly*. In fact that was the only good part of the movie.
Success as defined by financial profit.
<sigh>
The Barry Manilow of architecture.
Donna that is pretty obscure reference - had to google image search - pleated pants? for real tho?
In terms of that article - pure trash - like Eli Broad, polluting the planet with bullshit - given, this asshole didn't build a vanity project in his own honor.
Some people would do almost anything for a Klondike bar, I'd do almost anything for a private jet. Just saying.
Yes, pleated pants. Because they flow, so you can see where the hard structure of the body is (the HIPBONES, pervert), and the fabric drapes from them. Tight pants looks like sausage casings whenever the body moves.
I’m all for architects as developers, but that photograph proves that money can make anybody stupid.
The sad thing is he should be standing in front of one of his accomplishments, a building that he's proud of. Instead he's in front of one of his toys that doesn't say anything about his contribution to society.
Also that jet looks like a cheap poser jet. Anyone with real money goes for a Gulfstream V.
that's another one of his companies, leasing Piaggio 180's , also known as the flying potato, banned in many small airports for being too noisy.
not a single nyc building.
as it fucking should be.
i knew there was a reason why i had never heard of him. nyc takes skillz
