oh gehry. you've gone and done it again. you've made the world of architecture something to be talked about-to be gawked at- hated- and loved. you've created new emotions for the existence of architecture. and left the world of uneducated passerby's dumbfounded. how do you do it? when i think i can't figure something out, all i need to do is look at your artistic creations, good or bad, and think, "ok, that's a lot more complex than the current structure I'm trying to design." you complicate our profession. you create some great pieces and some that are a little beyond me. yet ugly or beautiful, i admire your work. your style. and your creativity. you think outside of the box. and whether i'm ever able to run with the big dogs or not, i hope on at least one project of my architectural existence, i can think abstractly like you- turn it into something concrete- step back and realize that i made the abstract work, just like you always manage to do.
