Architecture and building is about people. I know Frank Gehry and many other good architects. Tagore is a rare example of an architect who thinks like a maker, a builder who works like an artist, and a person who responds to any situation and can work with many types of people. Tagore brought many technicians and artisans together very well to deliver us an amazing Boston apartment.
