Plenty of "arty" people cross the line between art and just plain stupid.
Yes, and too many of them call themselves "architect."
There was a time when an architect was an architect, an engineer, and a master builder all wrapped up in a single package. Gradually, architects have ceded most of what they once did. The engineering aspects have been given up to professional engineers. Interior design has been usurped by interior designers. Construction has been taken over by contractors (and, more recently, "construction managers" -- ugh!). City planning has been taken over by ... city planners.
There's just not a lot left of what was once "architecture" for architects to do. And then those who are supposed to be architects go off and "design" idiotic stunts like this, instead of doing something relevant and responsible.
A pox on their houses.
