This guy is not a genius ! Who is he kidding...There isn't anything great, authentic or even findamentally artistic about his work....geez....bottom -o- the barrel DWELL!
A waterfall does not a "master piece" define....nor do his efforts deserve any admiration....sorry... I love his nod to IM pei...and his choice of eye wear...again however not authentic in any way. Poor execution...raw and bohemian can be lovely...but I don't find this so.
I have read so many comments here and can not understand what inspiration these people are referring to...help?

I think Ling's loft is an amazing space...I live in his neighborhood and along with other neighbors appreciate the raw facade of the building which is original from 1800's I read in the New York Times. The blue wall beside the waterfall is superb design at its best. Actually met him once while walking by and started a conversation about his space which led to an impromptu invite inside - very gracious man with great talent not just as an architect but as an interior designer as well.
David Ling's home is part architecture, part interior design, part sculpture....Poetic video of an intensely personal space by an architect who used the opportunity to experiment with water and light. I like how the video captured the reflection of the water onto the ceilings and walls. I've never seen anything like it before or since. I like his use of old and new, the different textures, and the fact that he allows there to be a sense of rawness and elegance that work together.
Furthermore, since being scrooge in itself is not enough, he also demands them to clean his lovely fountain, and answer "Yes David" to any sentence he might be saying. Given all this, it seems like the only thing that connects Mr. Ling to architectural discourse is his glasses. Aside from this he might be better off at an S/M club.
Well as much as mister David Ling might be wealthy (from what I heard he drives a Porche and owns quite a few weekend houses) he prefers not paying to his employees (all are trained architects).

Well, you're tweaking my statement slightly there. My point was that if that state was the objective, then is it fair to say it lacks craftsmanship?
I'm not a craftsman myself though, so I do speak from an uninformed outsider's perspective.
Don't worry, it's a good response. Usually when someone refutes a point of mine they become rude and belligerent. I'm glad to see you're above that, its rare ^^.
He is presenting a positive image, be it not deep. Perhaps people were expecting more, the comments are hostile towards him. Let us just say that you are probably jealous of him and you seek to grind your axe. Why the aggression? The glasses? The house? The words? It's only a video, you can stop watching it.
To be an architect, no, certainly not. To create "art" all you necessarily have to do is create something using your personal creativity, yes. Creating something takes real effort mind you.
I really like most of this, but from a practical point of view I think that having a bed directly above a water fall will lead to a lot of extra bathroom visits, at least until one gets used to it.
lol, yea I it just amazed me that someone would remove all the home heating sources and not realize that the house would no longer be 'warm' during the winter.
At least he learned from his mistake, so that counts for something.
huh?? cheesy reproductions as far as furniture goes, a majority of crap i've seen in second-hand stores, and a worn out base on a tacky indoor waterfall??
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This dude is not only weird but also kinda gay in a way. If you really think of it this is a very sad video because you can see the contrast between a regular person and a rich ,pretentious living moron.
wow stfu spawn who made u to be the judge. u barely know the guy, how do u no he is sad and gay? just cause his house is a lot cooler than yours? besides he is a designer.
ahaha i love how im not the only one thinking about being drunk in that house and things just going wrong hahaha. i would be throwing parties and and all kinds of events!
hey, thats a funky loft you have, i really think it's kool and it fits the person.. i would so loose all my pillows, with them falling into the water.. awesome house i think it's kool... and just coz some one has a vision of spacial awareness don't hate them at the end of the day he lives there not anyone else.. and he's not impossing it apon anyone.. get a grip on reality people.. ps: nice job again.
Architects are the most pompous group of over dramatic, self absorbed idiots second only to successful actors in their over-inflated sense of self worth. Talk about spending your life focusing on frivolous nonsense. Give me a break. This guy is ridiculous. And somebody PLEASE tell him to lose the dumb ass glasses.
awesome, very different. but also... the vid gives kind of seems a little too dramatic for a living space. sure it's totally awesome, but some people are living in their cars, and others aren't even that lucky...meh. neat loft. bed should have some safety bars or something though.
You havent been to San Francisco..This apartment is nothing compared to what i have seen..That's NOT the coolest apartment ever..You will be amazed by these high tech guys' apartments..
That must cost a fortune to heat but it looks great - I always wanted my own music studio with automatic doors like on Star Trek and rounded forms like Roger Dean used to make
Damn, I was hoping for more waterfalls and such. My dream since I was a kid was to have calming water effect consumer my house. Love your stuff David, now MORE WATER! WOOOOOHOO!!
Just magnificently beautiful! Saw Mr. Ling on CBS News last night and wanted to find out more about his work. Very cool indeed.

True, there is a large difference there. It's clear now that your point is stronger than mine, so I concede ^^.
One query, and this is out of genuine ignorance, how would you discern whether or not the piece in question was "art" in such a situation?
