As with the architects you list, these people are known as the figureheads of the products they bring to market. They do not necessarily do the design & engingeering (or at least ALL of the design & engineering). Clearly, some famous architects and industrial designers did more of the design and others did less. Gehry had a whole team of architects working on Disney Hall with him - do you know any of the other names? -Weston On Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 2:01 PM, mike myles <[email protected]> wrote: > Many of the great architects & industrial designers are known to the > general public.
