Presumably. And this is why people hate architects. These people spent a metric fuckton of money custom-casting these brass drain grates instead of just figuring out how to terminate the brick pattern neatly. Brick is easy to cut!
Theyâre the ones whoâll give you the straight story - cuz they need to fix all the crap that breaks (leaks, falls down, burns) because of artistic license.
Ironically itâs on campus of mass institute of TECHNOLOGY !
Yes, but none of the issues actually involve the abstract design or artistic license, and revolve solely around construction faults, drainage issues (not resulting from the unusual shape!), and gaps in the construction material through which water would leak into the building, and mold would grow in the now wet wall space.
I take it you havenât built many things. The weirder the angles get, the harder it is to get all your flashings correct and so on. The weird angles are absolutely part of how this happened.Â
Both of you can be correct here.
Perhaps the choice of the construction company and the actual builders and engineers is critical for successful construction of « non-traditional » designs ?
If your professional acumen doesnât include these design edge cases you are more likely to use default techniques which could lead to problems as already mentioned above.
I cannot lend any support for or against Mr Gehry taking on the properties of a rectal sphincter. Thatâs out of my area of expertise.
These things can both be true at once. When you ask workers to perform work they donât understand, you have to be really good at explaining to them how to do it. But I donât even really think that was the issueâI think the design itself never compensated for the problems it caused itself.Â

That has to be intentional, right?
