MIT is trying to accuse Frank o.Gehry

Frank o Gehry, one of the greatest Architect, has made numerous famous buildings, such like:

the Medienhafen in düsseldorf,


walt-disney concert hall,


gehry tower in hannover, DZ-Bank in Berlin...etc. all of them have been build in a unique "gehry" style, asymetric shape, flowing surfaces, metallic color. all these make the building just like sculpture.

the stata center of MIT, designed by gehry, was opened in 2004. it was once the mark of the school and successfu project. But why is MIT trying to accuse gehry now?

It has something to do with so-calles the resposibility of an architect (or designer). now, 3 years later, 2007, some details of the building is getting broken, water comes through the roof, the wall has some "gaps". should a architect or designer also be response of the quality of production? it is a moral question. sometimes, we can't control, how the product would be produced. however, we are like the lawyer of the user. we are the only one, who does'nt only care about the look, but the usability. that's the difference between art and design. we deliver a whole paket, we merge every aspect of professions. maybe, we are not direct response for it, but we should give more effort and concern about it.

cheers
