@georgewu5 FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HAD COMMON SENSE, THEREFORE HE WAS A GENIUS! KOOLHAAS DOES NOT HAVE COMMON SENSE, PUTTING AN ASYMMETRICAL 40 STORY HIGH RISE IN A KNOWN EARTHQUAKE BEIJING. THEREFORE HE IS AN ARCHITECT WITH NOT MUCH COMMON SENSE!

@kenchiku WRIGHT WAS A GENIUS, BUT HE DID NOT OVERLOOK THE UN-MEASURABLE FORCE IN AN EARTHQUAKE. HE BECAME FAMOUS BECAUSE THE ONE STORY BUILDINGS AROUND THE HOTEL CAME DOWN BUT HE STOOD UP THERE UNTOUCHED. I STAYED IN IMPERIAL HOTEL IN 1963 WITH ADMIRATION. GEORGE WU, A.I.A. 2010-6-26

@kenchiku SEVERAL YEARS AGO ARUP WAS THE ENGINEER FOR THE RPI BUILDING I WAS WORKING ON. THEREFORE I KNOW THEIR OFFICE A LITTLE BIT. BUT HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A PROJECTING MASS HANGING OVER AT 400 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND IN A KNOWN EARTHQUAKE ZONE NOT SYMMETRICALLY !!! WRIGHT'S IMPERIAL HOTAEL WAS ONLY THREE STORIES HIGH, YET HE TOOK GOOD CARE OF DESIGNING WITH WITH HORIZONTAL EXPANSION JOINTS AT 30'-0" O.C. AND NO RIGHT ANGLE CONNECTION FOR THE PLUMBING, AND REFLECTING POOL FOR FIRE.

@kenchiku Know where the wishbone is? It's the collarbone! If you make a wish, snap the bone, your wish comes true? Well, when you try snapping the bone, where is it most likely to snap? The vertex, of course! Your statement "It's best to accept that they have been professionally thorough in their risk assessment and structural design." is too presumptuous. It doesn't matter how many licenses or diplomas you have, IT'S FOOLISH TO TRY AND PLAY TRICKS WITH MOTHER NATURE!

@OnePeopleOneChina I JUST FINISHED WATCHING I-CHING IN CCTV IN THE INTERNET. YES, CHINESE PEOPLE IS A VERY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. WISER THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD MORE THAN 3,000 YEARS AGO. SOME OF THESE WESTERN TRAINED ARCHITECTS ARE TALENTED, STEVEN HOLL, FOR EXAMPLE. BUT THE ARCHITECT OF CCTV? WELL FIRST OF ALL, HE STOLE THE DESIGN FROM A JEWISH ARCHITECT, PETER ISENMAN, AND CHANGED A LITTLE BIT AND THEN DID NOT USE HIS COMMON SENSE, DESIGNED AN ASYMMETRICAL 40 STORY BUILDING IN BEIJING.
