makes it pretty clear why architects arent graphic designers
ha ha ha ha, yeah, i had the same thought beef.
YIKES!
to be fair, the template used by each architect is atrocious to begin with. even a nice image provided by the architect is still going to make for an ugly poster when the base is so poorly considered.
So basically allowing architects to regurgite a rendering from a past project is good enough for Cersaie?
...yawn.
in the grand scheme of things its free marketing for the architects and they probably got paid to do it as well.
when will someone blow up a Thom Mayne building?
