Frank Gehry’s Latest Revealed [Curbed]
To be fair, this is better than a lot of the dumps that are going to be torn down for this.
I’m sure when this will be done it will be OK. Not a work of art, but something like the Canary Wharf in London.
It’s very space aged. I can’t make up my mind whether I like it or not. Part of me thinks it’s downright ugly and the other part of me is glad they’re trying for something unique.
However, I really think in the end Ratner will put up crap like the Atlantic Center.
is it supposed to look like someone sat on it?
Well, I guess we know why there weren’t any pix of the building in the Atlantic Yards brochure.
what shockingly ugly crap!!
it looks like a building after a bomb hit it.
i dont hate modern design ( the “time warner building” at columbus circle is ok)or battery park city
it must be a case of “emperor’s new clothes”
Marginally better- now they sorta stick straight up, but it’s a monstrosity nonetheless.
Welcome to the dark side, oh Brownbomber. Because guess what FCR is going to do? Maybe now the anti-AY people will understand what the DDDB is trying to do- not stop development, but stop the building of that awful eyesore.
Although I don’t love this proposed design, I think it is a lot better than the last one I saw, featured here:

They may still suck, but at least they’re getting better!
Please God, NO!
I want the arena built; I want Atlantic Yards built; I want luxury housing; but I also want FCR to dump Gehry! His vision of AY is hideous! I hate it!
Bruce Ratner must be the biggest idiot in the world. He’s gong to lose his support with this monstrosity and he has only himself to blame. Here he has a unique opportunity to do something great for Brooklyn and the best he and Gehry can do is this piece of shit?!? If FCR tries to push this down our throats then I’m joining the other side!
