hm. why do you s'pose there's no mention of the fact that aaron betsky left his position as director of the netherlands architecture institute to head up cincinnati, or of his writings while there about how great he thinks dutch designers are?
i don't think it's bad, because i also think neutelings riedijk are great.
maybe cincinnati art museum got betsky just for the purpose of mining his knowledge of dutch architects. i just thought it was a pretty notable bundle of information to leave out.
and yes, i am bitter...the construction is almost finished, and the built project looks worse than the linked renderings...see...now i am angry again...

Steven, you are so....diabolical? No, you're nice.
Cuttingly aware of diabolical actions by others? Yeah, that's more like it. ;-)

The way your mind works in putting together people and events, Steven, is partly why you are such a good architect.
And yeah, I don't think it's a bad choice either. I wish Indy would step up and get someone besides HOK to design something in this city!
it could be worse...they could've selected michael graves...like the Detroit Institute of Arts did...
