 Blind Item: Keanu's Mystery Architect Thursday, May 18, 2006
Which barely-known New York architect (rhymes with cHronic) doesn't want anyone to know he designed an apartment for Keanu Reeves? The Manhattan palais is said to be quite lavish—onyx bathroom, anyone?—but strangely it has not yet appeared on any of the bi-weekly · Fame: So Painful for Those Denied its Embrace [The Gutter] Reader Comments (33 extant) 1. "strange things are afoot at the circle-k" By 818 at May 18, 2006 6:37 PM2. It must be hard to critique something that you've never seen. 3. Your rant makes you sound like a failed architect in search of therapy by making things - pErsonal. By Anonymous at May 19, 2006 10:51 AM4. YAWN..... By SILVER THUNDER at May 19, 2006 11:19 AM5. wow- can't take a little professional criticism, eh gutter boys?? ya kinda sound like you're all 22 and grossly arrogant. By anonymous2 at May 19, 2006 11:25 AM6. dude, its that caesar salad dude By Anonymous at May 19, 2006 1:21 PM7. Damn, I guess being known for doing work for Keanu Reeves is a curse in tinseltown...whether its on the east or west side of the States. He's got about $400 mill to chill, so he's got to do something with all that green...marble. By Dana at May 19, 2006 1:27 PM8. Why is the Gutter sucking so bad? This blog used to be fun and interesting. By Sucky McSuckalot at May 19, 2006 2:57 PM9. AGREED. THIS WEBSITE IS GETTING TOO SAFE. W By SILVER THUNDER at May 19, 2006 5:01 PM10. soft west coasties. By Anonymous at May 19, 2006 6:11 PM11. the guttersniper is Phillip Noble. By anon at May 20, 2006 1:30 AM12. the guttersniper is Phillip Noble, famous Israeli cryptographer. By anon non at May 20, 2006 7:37 AM13. Close. But no cigar, kids. By Philip Nobel at May 20, 2006 4:27 PM14. Correct. the guttersniper IS Philip Nobel. By Phillip Noble at May 21, 2006 10:34 AM15. alright you're overcooked. i mean seriously. have you never heard of witholding a budget, a client's name, their bra size? WTF? i think there was a leather floor too but who the fuck cares (except maybe morrissey and kim basinger)? stick to your (forlorn?) skills of ripping on those who deserve a ripping. 'which barely known' blah blah blah? try this: which supposedly unknown 'sniper' has lost all sense of direction and begun shooting without his scope? By some unknown architect... at May 21, 2006 8:47 PM16. why all the haterade, dudes? this site rocks!!!! By sarasota sam at May 21, 2006 8:51 PM17. sniper - it's noon, monday, the day after the times architecture mag special - wake up! By Anonymous at May 22, 2006 11:59 AM18. Yawn. Scratch. [Redacted]. By The Guttersniper at May 22, 2006 12:48 PM19. ICFF coverage and commentary? Talk of designers (Karim Rashid) getting wasted and hitting on any warmblooded human at receptions? Wake up Gutter! By Sucky McSuckalot at May 22, 2006 2:03 PM20. i'd love to wake up the gutter. By yummy at May 22, 2006 3:59 PM21. Call or nudge? By Cojo at May 22, 2006 4:14 PM22. Nudge! By Nina at May 22, 2006 4:16 PM23. hey philip where's the beef?? such earnestness isn't gossip..... By nobel prize at May 22, 2006 9:53 PM24. does anyone know where i can find some real discourse on architecture and what it means in the wider culture? i was hoping to find that sort of writing here but it seems all the writers are doing is just having fun and sometimes saying mean things about people. and i don't get all the big words and why the writing is so confusing. By ethan e at May 22, 2006 11:29 PM25. what fun to watch philip's career careen into a pile of gossip. By piano nobile at May 23, 2006 12:58 PM26. I thought I was dead? By Philip Johnson at May 23, 2006 1:12 PM27. Are you talking about Johnson or Noble? The first one never did anything but careen into a pile of gossip. The other one would be really badly missed if he was gone. Bravest critic working today. http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/story.php?artid=1692 28. Philip IS dead. And Nobel too. By NY Archipot at May 23, 2006 1:58 PM29. As anyone reading this site should know, we are not huge fans of the overhyped and derivative Mr. Nobel, though we wait with abandon for his debut in The Architects' Newsletter. Still, NY Archipot/anon/piano nobile, let's keep the death threats to a minimum. We'd hate to have to tell your employers at Baker Travel that you spent 12 minutes and 3 seconds here. On your third visit of the day. Hating the site thoroughly, no doubt, through all 17 of your page views. By The Guttersniper at May 23, 2006 2:19 PM30. Its true then isn't it.... By novel at May 23, 2006 2:24 PM31. Not really. FWIW. But how would I know. (#27: Thanks for the props.) By Philip Nobel at May 23, 2006 3:51 PM32. thanks PN. case closed. By nip n tuck at May 23, 2006 4:32 PM33. who is phillip noble? By cellblock at June 28, 2006 9:07 PMAll set here?
