Flashermac Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I have a friend who's a top level UK lawyer. He worked for a few years in a Thai law firm, but obviously he could never appear before the court. (Only Thai nationals may practice law here.) He told me that virtually everything thing done by the firm in those years had been written and prepared by him (with a Thai's name on it). The Mahanakorn folks big mistake was to brag about the concrete prong being designed by a foreigner. They should have listed the German as an "advisor".

radioman Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Ya reckon architects are the sort to take that shit lying down. I'd say the only way they ever get involved with the big jobs is to be able to stamp their name on it. It's the architectural world equivalent of a CV. This will just disappear into the noise. What other buildings, office towers, shopping malls with Thai names on them achieve world recognition, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexi Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Didn`t he have his architect do that, a Mr Speer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitagawn Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yes but all of Albert Speers designs were subject to the Furher's review. At the end of the war they were working together on his personal "State Museum" in Linz I believe to hold all of the stolen artworks acquired during the war...

Flashermac Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Russia got most of them ... and still has them. (Of course, that's how the Froggies filled up the Louvre too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
