Libeskind building 192 meter residential in Warsaw (2m above Calatrava's torso, to snatch the 2nd tallest in europe), and Frank Gehry is going for a.. BRAD PITT design in two 25 floor towers in Briton, in the U.K..
Apparently holliwood stars are beggining a new flirt with architects..

bringing revolutionary ideas in design to a city near you, Jewish architects rule.. :nocrook:

I don't like either of the architects, and whatever they build usually looks ugly.

TalB, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder..

Also - Calatrava's mother and family is Jewish so I guess that makes him a jewish architect as well :)

though they are starting to repeat themselves, but dont Calatrava and Zaha Hadid also?

These people are not brand new to me. I first heard of Daniel Libeskind when he was doing the Jewish Musuem in Berlin and when he was picked for the Gardens of the World, now Freedom Tower, in NYC even though he wasn't liked by the public. I knew Frank Gehry from designing Millenium Park in Chicago and for the so-called new complex for Brooklyn, which will force the Nets to move there and kick out people. A lot of their work looks as they could have been better or if something was being demolished.
