I had the opportunity to study briefly with him in school .He is a much greater and important architect then Geary could ever hope to be.

genius, Herman Kahn and I didn't even make a "correct" mistake!
Ah, old age...
You studied with LOUIS Kahn?
C'mon, that would make you 100 years old.
when he taught at my university in 1965, If you can do math that makes me 64.not over a 100.You really don't know anything about architects and architecture do you!
I do know how to get a guy to reveal his age.
Careful typing, I've heard of old guys getting finger stress fractures :--)
If not your stereotyping is dumb. I am in great physical shape.(6'-1", 180 lbs, swim every day, work out at gym 3 times a week, do trail biking on weekends, practice martial arts and am in excellent health.Probably better shape then you .
The way you phrased your relationship with Kahn, btw, implies you were a contemporary, not a student.
maybe it is because I see you as a total phony.
bullshit any integrity I will no longer have any respect for anyone on this forum.You are a very uninformed total joke.

physical conditioning. But why no pictures? You do seem so proud you must be a very fine specimen. MY!

It might be time ti take a breath and get back to talking about the film.
I kinow I am not neccessarily the best to say that, but then again perhaps I am...
Gehry is undoubtedly one of the group of archjtects who gets invited to piych for those high profile jobs especially from cities trying to boost toourism.
Whether his popularity turns him into The Beatles or The Partridge Family remains to be seen.
Personally I think he merely took postmodernism in a different dirction and is fast becoming a one trick pony but then a lot of people are... and that's still one trick more than most of us pit ponies have!
He's also at least as much a stylist as an architect as judging from the film footage, discussion of the external appearance seems detached from concerns about the interior although some comments about The Disney Concert Hall seemed to contradict that.
I thought the Disney Ice building, which I had not seen before, was quite lovely.
Perhaps like Michael Graves, Disney is his true calling.
