I have a feeling we're not in Dumbo anymore.

Those buildings are seriously ugly. I'll take Fedders anyday over that crap.

Isn't if funny that one is designed by Frank Gehry (the left one) and is regarded as masterpiece? The same Frank Gehry hired for Atlantic Yards....

See, there is no way to please the brownstoner posse - at least not Meryckawick ....

Has anyone seen the Gehry plans? What I saw showed something that looked like that Red Grooms piece Ruckus Manhattan. A great art piece but an awful architectural design. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I think Frank Lloyd Wright is mostly terrible. I love old skool designs. Give me cornices and mansard roofs and I'll be happy.

Dancing House is great - one of Gehry's masterpieces, like the Conde Nast cafeteria at 4 Times Square. At the top of Dancing House is a great restaurant; maybe the key for Gehry is food...
