Since I first saw her sucky scketches I've reserved some contempt for Hadid. The buildings she pukes out with such stunning regularity and the bizarre accolades (OK maybe the BMW factory works) from the critics always makes me scratch my head with what sort of dark deal she must have struck with dark forces. The portrayal of her frazzled life certainly exemplify why her work is the anti-architecture to the wonderful projects above. Thanks you!

He designed RayGun and Beach Culture and zagged when everyone else zigged. He become a rock star in magazine design and graphic design all together. Soon he went from creating and crafting work that was heavily debated and controversial to speaking and touring and lecturing and just being. He stopped creating and he really stopped being relevant once he became "a rock star of design". My point is this, the authentic and "real" design professionals in my mind are those who let the work be the stars not themselves. I do think a positive outcome of someone like David Carson is that he took a chance to put himself and his art into his design which made it highly personal and thus highly controversial because people judged the work based on their like or dislike of him. I think his work in his hey day was highly successful because it was personal. I think architects who put themselves into the work make the work better (if they are in fact good architects) but again, the true litmus test is the work not the celebrity of the architect or the designer.

For the past 10 years, what do we get for the mad rush to build all those big box stores and tract houses and cool restaurants ? More architects than ever are deeper into debt than ever by lowering fees and investing in software/hardware thinking the next big break will come due to new flashy software or marketing blitz. (I just heard Yamasaki is folded) Be calm, be clear and be in control and make sure we have a good life and make money is better than just busy running around.
