Comments on: A Little Perspective From Spiderman and Renzo Piano’s New York Times Building http://lifewithoutbuildings.net/2008/06/a-little-perspective-from-spiderman-and-renzo-pianos-new-york-times-building.html Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:10:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jimmy Stamp http://lifewithoutbuildings.net/2008/06/a-little-perspective-from-spiderman-and-renzo-pianos-new-york-times-building.html#comment-512 Jimmy Stamp Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:39:17 +0000 http://lifewithoutbuildings.net/2008/06/a-little-perspective-from-spiderman-and-renzo-pianos-new-york-times-building.html#comment-512 SA - Sex in the City is in no way —not even <i>remotely</i> close—to what I'm talking about. As for pyracantha's question, I do hope to take this beyond "though experiement" into a real comic. Although i'll be surprised if its finished any time soon. Victor - John Stewart is awesome. When Green Lantern's are drawn especially well, each one (there are thousands) is surrounded by a unique energy signature — like an aura. John Stewart's is very architectural. crisp lines and orthagonal forms. SA – Sex in the City is in no way —not even remotely close—to what I’m talking about.

And Jimmy's right, any Gehry building would be a terrific supervillain. But in the end, spider-man always wins, doesn't he? there is an architect superhero… it’s john stewart, the black green lantern. apparently, he is only able to design green stuff (kinda like richard meier and his white buildings….).

You could always include some super-heroes who expand to giant size, such as "Giant-Man" and "Colossal Boy." Are you really going to do this or is it just a "thought experiment?" You could have an architect as a super-hero. I wonder if that has been done.

They're mega-organisms where people are just the cells that move the nutrients and waste in and out. *That citycentric 'comic' has been done. It was called "sex in the city" and it sucked. ** Gehry will always win, because mere mortal planners are too weak to fight the notion that a silver symphony hall will save the town from economic despair.
