So sad, too true. I've never heard architects whining about fenestration requirements (how much light a building needs) or fire safety constraints (placement of plumbing vents and noncombustible wallboard) but somehow artistes like Gehry think it's acceptable to dismiss access concerns in their designs. He's done plenty of stuff in the USA for Disney, who is generally a very good corporate citizen when it comes to accessible design, so he can't claim he doesn't know how.
