Always been inspired by him. Not sure if I've ever mentioned it here, but I studied Architecture for 2 1/2 years before changing majors to Advertising. I have a Minor in Architecture actually.
Some people can't stand FOG and accuse him of doing the same thing with every project. He's locked into a style now, but he is to be praised for how he has pushed technology to create the architecture he does. I saw the FOG exhibit at the Guggenheim in NYC back in 2001. So many models of their work there, just awesome.
They created their own computer software in the beginning to be able to create the things they have. Pretty cool - can't do what you want conventionally so you go and make your own way of doing it.
