WAIT, On Prospect Park?! How is this possible...the brownstoner readers hate that building though! ;)

I personally love that building and am glad to see it on the list along with Galapagos and the Brooklyn Children's Museum, both really nice ones also.

For what it's worth, we like the Meier building....

Oh good to hear. I think it looks especially nice from inside the park on the lawn with the trees in the foreground.

I agree on the Meier building, and I like all three pictured. Prefer those on the right to the one on the left. Great to see good new non-retro architecture getting some recognition. I think it is important to have a good balance between old and new.

there's a large newish modern grey/silver building on 4th ave (around 1st st.?) with lots of glass that seems to be used by a private business. does anyone know who the tenant is? the space seems like it would be some design or architectural firm, which would surprise me for 4th ave.

The top right is über-Bauhaus. Actually, were those just stolen plans from Germany?

The "Triangle Junction Mall" (aka, the Target Mall) really is a great addition to Flatbush. Looks really nice and seems to have had the appropriate, positive effect on the neighborhood.

(Though I think the Circuit City space is still vacant... open for a whole month or two. Huge retail space to have to try to fill in this climate.)

I've always liked On Prospect Park. Glad to see it was recognized, along with the Brooklyn Children's Museum, which is excellent. No love for the NY Tow Pound (they got me once)!

What about One Brooklyn Bridge Park?! www.OneBrooklyn.com ... Why is the tow pound on there anyway?
