Sir Foster designs a yacht

I'm not sure that this really falls under "General Architecture" but whatever.

My question is who would you want to design your yacht?

I'd love to see what Santiago Calatrava could do.

Unfortunately, Gehry doesn't have a very good track record with water.

Actually, I want a brutalist yacht.

Zaha Hadid.

Thoug I'm not sure it would float.

^^ If you are worried about such prosaic and mundane issues such as 'floating' or what not, clearly you do understand brilliant architecture when you see it.

How about Renzo Piano or Richard Rogers?

Tadao Ando probably could do a beautiful concrete one without reasonable seaworthiness.

Jokingly I would LOVE to see Peter Eisenman's

It's the 'concept' of the yacht that is important, function, aesthetics, seaworthiness, are all mere impediments to the realization of 'true' naval architecture. So my yatch immediately sank out of dry-dock and drowned everyone on board? How DARE you question me peasant!!! My theories are simply too magnificent for your little mind to comprehend.....

Also, oh what hilarity would ensue if Michael Graves or Charles Moore were to enter a competition.

Renzo Piano did design a sailboat already...
