Yes, it is familiar. However, according to the Kohler television
commercial, titled “The Architect” produced by GSD&M
Advertising in Austin, Texas, it’s the Ishaki headquarters
in Kyoto. Really? If you can find the Ishaki headquarters, tell
us—we’re still looking. We’re glad that GSD&M
admire architect William Pereira’s building and we’re
happy to share it with T.V. land, but it raises the specter of
how many other virtual Geisel libraries are out there. Have you
seen it starring in your local neighborhood cinema or on the small
screen? We might even publish the first ten best replies or pin
them on a board at the “Ishaki Headquarters.” And yes,
we do remember that it starred as a spaceship in Attack of the
Killer Tomatoes II, so no prizes for submitting that one.
