There is no good answer to the Supreme Court decision. The website woman has never been asked by a gay couple to design a wedding website. We, as architects are not asked to design a prison. Something we would refuse anyway. Nor would we design the NRA headquarters. But also, we would never be asked in the first place. If you need to eat gluten free, your selection of restaurants might be limited, but you are not imposing every restaurant to have a gluten free menu. All toget…

25 years ago we were selected by I.M. Pei as associate architect on the design of the Museum of German History in Berlin. There was a double presentation to Bundeskanzler Kohl in then Bonn and not in Berlin (Another story is how I got there with the big wooden models, where Lufthansa failed and they put me on the Concorde). After some obvious inner-office jockeying for positions of who could be at the presentation from the administration, IM presented privately the design to Kohl. Kohl was very focused and was almost always a step ahead of IM. The repeat presentation was with the press present and Kohl was completely transformed. He was relaxed and took his time and smiled almost as much as IM to the press. After the presentation, the curtain closed and Kohl was back to business. He was doing five things at the same time while I was packing up. An extraordinary experience...
25 years ago we were selected by I.M. Pei as associate architect on the design of the Museum of German History in Berlin. It was also great to work with Leslie Robertson (structural engineer of the Twin Towers) on the stair atrium structure.
