 Cook Sells Out, Still Forced to Eat Cup-a-Soup Monday, September 11, 2006
Be careful of selling out to big money practices, you design heroes! Peter Cook, the Paul McCartney of 60’s beat architects Archigram, must have thought he’d hit pay-dirt with his recent big money transfer to international purveyors of ordinary architecture HOK. Well, playing the glamorous designer in a sweatshop of technicians isn’t as lucrative as it might sound, according to Cookie’s choice of airline from Venice. He was spotted dining on Cup-a-Soup and Pringles on the Easyjet flight to Gatwick. On the subject of big name architects bending over for a fat cheque, can anyone stateside confirm European rumours that Patrick Schumacher has been courted by Gensler to become their design director in the States? We know he was angling for more dough from his current maitresse, but Gensler? Oh someone please know the answer. Reader Comments (9 extant) 1. GIVE US MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
