BIGGER THAN ARCHITECTURE

I’m currently subscribed to WIRED UK and it’s now become my favourite magazine! I read almost every article in it, now that’s value for money.
The main reason for this post is not to brag about WIRED, but to tell you which architects made it into this techie magazine!
WIRED issue 1: FOA’s Oslo Opera house
WIRED issue 3: Zaha Hadid’s Manchester Art Gallery
cross reference to FAST COMPANY’s list of 100 most creative people, guess who goes on the list?
drumroll…
38: Norman Foster
43:Neri Oxman from MIT Media Lab (strictly speaking she’s not really an architect but she did graduate from the AA)
68: Zaha Hadid
You can check out the full list here.
This leads to a few observations:
- Rem didn’t make the list of 100 most creative people!
- Architects rank behind JJ Abrams (14) and Stella McCartney(13).
- To get into WIRED your building has to be of a certain type of form- it has to resemble a gadget, be flowy or folding in form.
- Zaha Hadid recently lost weight, and is into fashionable type shots of herself. She has one in profile with her hair blown back!
How is this post related to Architecture in Asia?
-Nada. Just for fun. Hope you have a nice day.
