I think because that is completed the authorship is all over the place; I didn't go through the rest one by one to see if they originated in the short time of PLOT. Yet even if others were inspired by that partnership, I'm inclined to think that their projects exhibiting "the peaks" would be mostly the hand of Ingels.John Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842328320680692310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-55736647903239039792011-10-07T18:03:26.731-04:002011-10-07T18:03:26.731-04:00I don't understand why you don't mention h...I don't understand why you don't mention his previous office, PLOT. I would argue that many of these projects were inspired if not originated and developed from his initial architecture venture with his former partner Julien de Smedt during their 5 year stint together as PLOT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-24623737545506816222011-02-13T15:24:29.374-05:002011-02-13T15:24:29.374-05:00I would like ot see the Dolphinarium actually comp...I would like ot see the Dolphinarium actually completed.<br /><br /><a href="http://markthuesen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">mark thuesen</a>Mark Thuesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469973160361466914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531343.post-53376271467071445952011-02-10T15:18:59.770-05:002011-02-10T15:18:59.770-05:00Another starchitect is born.
