Gehry is not a genius because he uses computer aided design and because, as
he claims to know
nothing about computers and has to rely on staff "experts"---he is not a
genius simply because
his buildings are not of genius content in any shape, form and substance
whatsoever--- genius architecture
is derived out of the totality of integrated space-form structures of
complete integrity of materials-of-constuction
so as to achieve optimal spacial flow of all its interior and exterior parts
in unison with humans[society] who must
be of the highest expectations in their building environment---at the moment
we do not have that society---but
be patient its coming--- the public and his patrons are temporarily being
entertained with "show-biz" architecture
soon to be replaced by true great creative edifices of a new spacial
dimension. The style and age
of architecture which western civilization has been living under for the
past 30 years is rightly called
"DECONSTRUCTIVISM" a negative term aptly describing the present misguided
state of raging
uncreative building design---this must change---NOW!
