I don't like the look either, but at least with him the earrings are a pseudo travel log. Having said that, ear gauges look ridiculous.

Every real creative has their unique quirk which is more of a signature, I believe the earrings are his.

So its just authentic and gives him cred to do African areas. No problem if that is what he wants. He is one of the best that WDI has left

I understand what's being communicated, but to be technical on terminology, Rohde isn't an Architect, at least not in the AIA sense. He's is a renaissance man, who can sketch, paint, sculpt, make models, and all-around design theme parks really-well.

I would use the word architect in the Frank Lloyd Wright sense. Designer, Artist, Manager. I think like Wright, Joe sees the structure and the details as unified and inseparable. That is what makes him so good at his job.

Fair enough. As in "architect of a vision." When I see architect I tend to think of schematics and building plans.

It is not just the AIA. Architect is a legally protected professional title throughout the United States.

Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect architect and he most certainly did not see structure and details that well, that's why his buildings leak and Fallingwater almost fell into the water.

I'd be interested to see what Rhode can do with Marvel. Its exciting.

Yeah, I mean, he is best known for his masterpiece Expedition Everest - one wonders how he could top that? Disco Groot?
