After Suing him three years ago, MIT and Gehry have reached to a settlement.

ARCHINECT

In I Came Across..   

Not so long ago architects were striving to imagine the unimagined and do the undone, reminds me of Gaudi, and Mies. The word beauty had a very special place in their dictionary, commoners used it more correctly. Today, thanks to the crisis, we have no architecture to create, so we’re getting by designing underwear instead.

If you are a man who is remotely interested in automobiles, that is cars in a joe person’s dictionary, you’d definitely know who James May is. Apparently, this statement is far from the truth, as I’ve discovered that James may is considered a male sex symbol to lots of people (men and women). He is a classically trained musician and a wine aficionado, a splitfire pilot and a responsible driver who has been tutored by Jackie Stewart and Mika Hakinnen, a cultured person who knows cooking, and one of very few people who drove at 407KM/H and flew to an altitude of 70,000 feet.

I respect such a person who is capable of being a guy in a very fast car and a person with a knife-sharp wit.

I’d like to believe that I have something to do with this. About a year and a half ago, I sent an email to Apple suggesting to them that they should reinvent the mouse as they did with the touchpad, and to me, it seems they have done just that.

If you are a TADAO ANDO fan like myself, You’d know that the japanese master didn’t have a website, so did Toyo Ito. It seems they’re not really interested in selling themselves, although owning a website is not really in any way selling; acquiring a digital space to exist in the digital world I believe is imperative. Mr. Ando has got himself a brand new website, and so has Mr. Ito.
