make cool stuff for fun

 
Let's play "Guess who this random guy is"

A) photographer
B) scientist
C) architect
D) musician




the correct answer is C... so i started taking art history at school this year and i've been enjoying it a lot, last week we watched part of this documentary about Frank Gehry, a guy who's taken it upon himself to revolutionize the way people look at and understand buildings. i just thought he was really cool and wanted to post some of his work here. there were scenes in the documentary where he'd be thinking of how he wanted his buildings to look and deciding how everything should work based off the mini models he uses... he'd say things like "no this doesn't look right" or "let's do it this way" and you could tell he just had a really set vision for what he wanted the end result to be. as an artist should, anyway i was telling my mom about his work and we watched one or two of his interview videos so that's the short youtube clip i posted up there ^^ where he's basically talking about art and inspiration and stuff. it's pretty  amazing how you can pass by people like this everyday and have no idea what they do or what their talents are but then be like holy shitt this guy made that?!! respect the genius.
(p.s. another guy who does cool shit who doesn't necessarily look like he does cool shit)
