MIT Sues Frank Gehry Over Buggy $300M CS Building

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the modern-architecture-means-modern-bugs dept.

theodp writes "MIT has filed a negligence suit against world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, charging that flaws in his design of the $300 million Stata Center, one of the most celebrated works of architecture unveiled in years, caused leaks to spring, masonry to crack, mold to grow, and drainage to back up. The complex, which houses a Who's Who of Computing including Tim Berners-Lee and Richard Stallman, includes the William H. Gates Building."

    "That could be a sexist remark: I don't remember what the ratio of mens' to womens' bathrooms in building 20 was; they might have been unequal"

    People like you who think such a thing is "sexist" are what's wrong with the world.

    I'm going to let you in on a secret, when you say things like this, you sound ridiculous.

    The population you associate with that hasn't told you so is not representative of the rest of the population, so please don't assume that not being told you are making silly statements is the same as not making silly statements.
