Yeah, that liberal jerk doesn't seem to know anything about engineering or mechanical stuff. He just comes out with whatever dopey crap that pops into his head and has the engineers and builders do the real work of somehow figuring a way for the ridiculous structure to work.
When the Hyatt Regency Skywalks Collapse occurred, we had quite a bit of self examination between designers, architects, owners, construction managers, fabricators and builders.
An old industrial design expert was being interviewed on a radio forum. He said that a lot of problems were built into any project by what he called “Gee-Whiz Factor.” The interviewer asked what he meant. He said that problems started with the Architect or Designer desiring a moment when the Owner, User or Viewer would look at an aspect of a building and say, “Gee Whiz, I wonder how that damn thing stays up there.”
Solving the material selection, engineering, methods of construction and other various aspects to achieve that desire was a trail of land mines to a successful project. Many projects would be more successful, less costly and certainly less risky if that Gee Whiz Element as never conceived as it is generally unnecessary in the end use of the project. Guys like Gehry come up with this stupid stuff for just those reasons.
