1. Gehry and Eisenman are more and more capitalizing on the new dexterity that CAD newly continues to offers designers. They too are increasingly being inspired by particular high-end cad softwares. The architects and the software TOGETHER are manifesting a new architectural aesthetic--THE SOFTWARE IS NOT DOING IT ALONE.
2. Stealth basically means to go undetected, so I think it would be better to say a stealth plane-like building, rather than a stealth building. ("Buildings that go furtively undetected are probably out there, but no one sees them because they are too good at what they are supposed to do," he said with an enormous smile on his face.)
6. The mundane and ordinary environment that is out there had its beginnings long before any CAD software was used by architects, and, therefore, CAD has nothing to do necessarily with the phenomenon.
7. An architect can use the offerings of CAD either imaginatively or unimaginative, and, I suspect, that CAD only stifles and suppresses, or conversely aids by automation, those architects that lack well greased imaginations. I have no doubt that architects who care about design and also use CAD are making the best, or at least trying to make the best, of all that CAD has to offer.
