long-playing record. One of your British journalists thinks so; he
described my recent buildings as "crude curlicues". If you know who he
is, get him to try on some concrete overshoes for size. I'll send them
over . . .
Our big new project is the Abu Dhabi Guggenheim. We've done the designs
and now we're waiting for the final go ahead, any time soon. This really
is like nothing we've done before. I say "we", by the way, not just
meaning me and Tom Krens [the director of the Solomon R Guggenheim
Foundation], but everyone at my studio; there are 170 of us now, and one
of the things I've had to think about, like Norman Foster's been doing
in London, is what direction the office takes in the future.
I'm fine, by the way, but I'm not getting any younger, and I don't want
to hang a kind of creative albatross around the neck of my team; I don't
want them stuck with a legacy they feel they have to follow. I like
experimenting; I want them to.
