But for some architects, the computer is letting them push their ideas way out there. For Frank Gehry, the maverick Californian, digital technology is the savior of his large ambitions. Gehry’s designs juxtapose oddball angled and curved shapes. His earlier small-scale works were manageable to build. But as he’s landed such huge commissions as the tin built Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, or a museum in Bilbao, Spain, tougher questions loomed: how could his idiosyncratic forms be translated into stone, glass and steel?...

This also holds true for Curry being able to break the 3,000 threes mark, a record that no NBA player has achieved before Curry.
