Mike:
Cabeza en espanol means "head." Make sense now?
And I appreciate your well-reasoned post above. But yes, if anything was proven by this exercise it is that this place is never going to generate more light than heat. It's just not in the nature of on-line discussion to do anything but that, as much as we would hope otherwise.
One thing also: another reason why we don't tend to discuss lesser-known architects and courses is because if one does bring such up, the universe of potential responders is usually very small... that is, only a few people would have seen or heard of them, so the discussion is short. The big names and historic greats have been seen by all, either in person, in pictures, or on TV, so it is easy to generate a lot of responses about them. Again, nature of this beast.
For example, I could extol the virtues of George Santana, and what could you say back other than "yeah, sounds like he does great work"? Same goes for Gary Panks, many of the others you mentioned elsewhere... Pictures can only go so far on this also....
Sorry to be so cynical... but in my mind, this place is what it is and I just don't expect any changes here except the natural evolution of things... And at least for now, what it is still remains pretty great.
