Creative license

There's a commercial for Kohler that has an architect walking a client couple through his office, during which he shows them photographs of his work. He then takes them to his office and he asks "Now, what can I do for you?" The woman pulls a (Kohler) faucet out of her purse, plunks it down on the architect's desk and says "Design a house around this."

That last bit is not what this entry is about.

When the architect is showing the photographs of his work, one of them he describes as "...headquarters in Kyoto."

BZZZT. Wrong! That is the very unique main library at the University of California at San Diego. Which is formally called the Geisel Library after Audrey and Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss). (See the link for a UCSD page about the building and links to photos of it.)

That's an interesting bit of creative license Kohler's ad agency did.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Found a page on a UCSD alumni site that also takes note of this.
