Frank Gehry’s Design Keeps Buildings Off Budget

The title says ‘Frank Gehry’s Software Keeps Buildings on Budget’; somehow I think the title should be ‘Frank Gehry’s design keeps buildings off budget’. First he proposed a problem (off budget), and now he is selling a solution to his own problem? Am I missing something?

He based it on the three-dimensional software that aerospace companies use. “If they can build airplanes paperless, I think buildings can be built paperless,” Mr. Gehry said.
In 2002, he spun off the software business into a company called Gehry Technologies, which sells Digital Project to other developers and architects and trains project teams to use it.
Digital Project works by modeling, in three dimensions, every odd shape an architect envisions and then letting engineers and architects reconcile the shape with a building’s site, ductwork and other features. It shows how one change to a building’s ingredients changes all the others. Source: NYTimes

Frank Gehry Food Stand Design Project
Could this be true? Frank Gehry actually design this? Looks more like something that came out from Tadao Ando’s office. Delicious is the name of the food stand, and it is located within his 43,000 square foot office. It is a place for his people and his creative neighbors to mix and mingle. The menu was created by his longtime caterer, Lisa Fields.
He believes the food stand will trigger informal but highly productive conversations between his firm’s architects and employees of TBWA\Chiat\Day, the global advertising agency, which just moved into 44,000 square feet of space in The Gehry Building.
oh, Mr.Frank Gehry – You’re full of surprises, but I still prefer your Jewelry design for Tiffany and Co. and Disney Concert Hall.
