Sushi vs. Gehry

"Japanese architect Kengo Kuma has criticised the architecture of Frank Gehry and other contemporary architects, and claimed they could learn a lot from how sushi is made." Kuma makes an interesting parallel between design and sushi, saying that success in both areas involves choosing the best seasonal materials and keeping things simple so that the journey isn't compromised by becoming too long or overly complex. Meanwhile, Gehry is being praised for his Serpentine Gallery Pavillion, the ninth in the gallery’s series of temporary architectural installations.
