He’s mad because everyone in Chicago calls the Bean, the Bean. It looks like a bean. He should be proud his sculpture has become a huge symbol here but he’s gotta bitch about something. What a jagoff.

Wait... he's the guy who designed The Bean? That's a shame

Designed is such a generous word for basic shapes.  I know that a lot of work goes into actually getting a sculpture up regardless of its simplicity, but I’m just not going to be too impressed when the final result is a shape any teenager messing around in a 3D modeling program could render in 5 minutes.

The construction of it is the only thing I find impressive. Love how polished they are able to keep it without the seams showing.
