If Richard Meier designed cars

Little-known facts department....

The point being that the working drawsings from this this clown's office suck. This jerk is Mr. Hot S*it in the profession, but if small-timers pulled the crap he does, they would have their license revoked and get sued into bankruptcy.

I had a chance to look through a set of his documents for a house he did in Dallas a few years ago (Rachofsky House), and I was quite impressed with the quality of the set. Very thorough and well put together. It was the best set of documents I've seen for a residence. Sounds like some playa' hatin' going on.

Yet he gets buildings built. Big buildings. And you...?

You're dignifying the spewage.

At first glance, you are right--they look good. Were you the builder who built off those drawings?

ROTFLMAO...

"George Bush's skills is a terrific Green Beret. When was the last time you were Commander-in-Chief?"

"Windows doesn't have security problems--that's BS. When was the last time you designed an operating system anyway?"

Etc.

He does not get "buildings built". His clients do.

No, he was mocking me.

Ooo, a semantic nit. Maybe reread until you find a meaning that is correct rather than stick with the first misinterpretation that pops into your head.

Ah, sorry, my mistake was figuring your problem was one of professional jealousy from somebody at a similar level of responsibilty. Instead it seems you are coming at it from the angle of somebody who hasn't even tried to get anything built. My mistake. Comment totally off the mark. I retract anything I said other than how you come across as an anonymous whiney liar boob.

"I have spent multiple years..."

No my friend was a project manager for the GC who built it, and let me on the site while it was under construction. I looked the set over with the GC's people. They pretty much the same thing I said about the set. Way above average. So your point was?

Does he work with the same contractor on all his projects? Do you hand out building permits for him? How do you see all his documents? More likely scenario is that you work for the print shop he uses, thus giving you the ability to look over many of his sets and give your 'stamp of approval'. lol

Yeah, shoot the messenger. Good idea.

Ever been one of his clients? Have you ever worked for a client at all? Have you ever had to pay for an architect's mistakes? Do you know why clients tend not sue their architects, but keep their mouths shut and say nice things instead?

I work for a client that hires many architects who "get buildings built. Big ones."--he isn't the only one who does, right? So my opinion is based on a comparison between his work product (his drawings), and other architects' work product.

BTW, why did the Getty take twice as l> > He does not get "buildings built". His clients do.

I guess my question would be for your friend, the GC's Project Manager: Did the GC build the project for the bid amount? If not, why not?

Yeah, sure, right. Guess again.

Cato:

I gather that the office of Richard Meier uses MicroStation CAD software.

Does anyone know if that helps in their work?
