The Real Deal has run a two-part interview with embattled architect Robert Sacarano over the past few days. A few highlights:

The buildings that we design typically have been a lot more successful…one of the reasons for that is that the aesthetic quality of the buildings, the livability of the buildings, has been at a higher level…That coupled with our ability to look into the code and the zoning and see avenues to pursue that haven’t been pursued are what give me the reputation.

Captain Bob’s anti-preservation leanings are also on display:

I’m not a big fan of leaving things the way they are…There are times when landmarking will help to preserve a certain character that people want to keep, the way you’d keep something in a museum, but generally there has to be a moving forward. If there isn’t there’s a tremendous amount of stagnation.

Plenty more where that came from on the links below.
