Atlantic Yards Looking Increasingly Un-sexy
The Atlantic Yards plan has fallen a long way from the spectacular glass-and-steel arena designed by star architect Frank Gehry and surrounded by 16 high-rises,” writes Rich Calder in today’s NY Post, which commissioned the new rendering at right, above . “Gehry’s 22-acre vision for Prospect Heights now comprises the arena, one or two high-rises…
The Atlantic Yards plan has fallen a long way from the spectacular glass-and-steel arena designed by star architect Frank Gehry and surrounded by 16 high-rises,” writes Rich Calder in today’s NY Post, which commissioned the new rendering at right, above . “Gehry’s 22-acre vision for Prospect Heights now comprises the arena, one or two high-rises and a lot of “temporary” surface parking and other empty space.” Look on the bright side: The project design is getting increasingly contextual—it should blend right in with the Atlantic Terminal Mall!

From Bold to Bad.
It looks cheap and lacks ambition. It adds nothing. A waste of money.
Brooklyn Nets? HA ha ha ha ha ha ha…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Tell me again why We The Poeple are buying a stadium for Bruce Ratner’s team?
Looks like the parking lot will make a great dog run!
hmmmm…Probably would have been sitting in the arena by now watching the Brooklyn Nets playing a home game.
“now”???
That doesn’t look like ‘The Rock’.
***Bid half off peak comps***
hmmm….probably wind up with overpriced, overbuilt, overly ugly developments everywhere. Nothing like arguing against rational, responsible development than by whining over a a badly thought out project now being made worse- by the same developer.
the fight to save brooklyn is resulting in:
1) prolonged construction time
2) increasing costs
3) diluted asthetics
thank goodness we have such concerned citizens, what would we do without them?
“The NIMBY’s claim that they had any influence over this project good or bad is laughable at best.”
so your point is that Ratner is a failure or an incompetent boob? which is it?
