What is it they say about a picture being worth a thousand words? The latest architectural plan/photo mash-up depicting the scale of the proposed Atlantic Yards project comes from photographer Jonathan Barkey. This particular one shows a view of the Dean Street playground. If you look carefully you might see some small apartment houses behind the row of brownstones. Five more scenarios follow on the link.

Just a reminder that the Empire State Development Corp is holding a public hearing on the Atlantic Yards project today from 4:30 to 8:30 at 285 Jay Street. Written comments are due within 30 days of the meeting.

  1. The renderings do seem accurate and what blight. It’s going to be a sad day for Brooklyn. We don’t need another Manhattan. We need a contrast. Brooklyn is already booming without these monstrous eye soars. Why can’t they make them 6 stories and make everyone happy.

  2. This rendering looks wonderful. I know that they are provided in hopes of illustrating how scary and horrible the area will look once the buildings are erected, but IMO it does exactly the opposite.

    And the hearings scheduled for tonight are a mere formality. We all know that this project is going to get built.

  3. 10:54, you base this on your expertise in architecture, or what? If the mash-ups are based on the renderings and plans offered by FCR, why not?

    You may well be correct, but just saying it doesn’t make it so. Back that up with some kind of evidence.

  4. after all, only old buildings are beautiful. and no blacks are allowed to live around central park. and any neighborhood with density and shadows is desolate and miserable (like all of Manhattan)
