A new word in the A/E industry?

A new word in the A/E industry?

A new word in the A/E industry?

(OP)
Check out the 11th paragraph of this article where the word:

Starchitect

is used...basically referring to a famous, hot-commodity architect.  In this case, they are actually putting his face up on billboards.  I had to laugh when they referred to people who said, "Who the hell is that?".

Buy a dictionary, keep it nearby and USE it. Webster's New World Dictionary of American English is recommended, and Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.

RE: A new word in the A/E industry?

Doesn't A/E refer to Arts & Entertainment?

Architects should be neither seen nor heard.  Big-name architects only add to project costs, especially when trying to make a statement. The shiny stainless exterior of Frank Gehry's Disney Hall had to be sandblasted due to the glare.
