Once they become household names, it actually becomes more difficult for them to create cutting edge architecture... just look at Gehry. When a starchitect is hired for his/her star quality, its often with the intent of duplicating prior success. However, we all know that isn't realistic.<BR/><BR/>Rem Koolhaas may be the current choice, but that won't last forever either (although it may seem like it).
