Frank Gehry’s Latest Revealed [Curbed]
Holy crap. Gehry’s design looks just like that mish-mash building that is being built at the corner of Fulton and Classon. Did he design that too? Maybe it’s a new design style that will be named, “Brooklyn Deco”. Is he just trying to scare us into submission with a really ugly design so that we’ll gladly accept whatever design he comes up with that is a little bit better? I prefer the hole in the ground to that.
The new buildings other than “Miss Brooklyn” look like projects and will look more like projects as this process moves forward. Anyone who has any experience with Altlantic Center and Atlantic Terminal and the what was promised and what was delivered (thanks for the Chuck E Cheese, Bruce, just what we needed!) knows that this is going to turn out badly. Only the naive or those who will never see this complex in person (David, Anon@6:29, Ed) are for it. Please prove me wrong – is there anyone who lives within 10 blocks of Flatbush and Atlantic that is OK with this and if so why?
It doesn’t even look like it is a stable structure.
Everyone is bitching about the PC Richards and Modells- Guess who built them? Ratner.
YES – there are too many whiners on this site! I’ve been saying that forever.
Meanwhile, OF COURSE bloggers aren’t journalists. They’re not reporting the news or getting “stories” – they provide a forum for exchange. Frankly, most of the time, bloggers are more like COLUMNISTS in that they tend to use their blogs as a soapbox for their opinions.
As far as the Gehry building looks, I love it. But I agree – the final product won’t look like that.
Please Please loose Gehry altogether. Invite Santiago Calatrava. Only he can bring good modern architecture.
it looks like Ratners ass exploded with a glass housing project
fantastic! everyone hated bilbao guggenheim too and now look. times have to change people. i am a brownstone owner in clinton hill. i don’t want to hear heath ledger and michelle williams either. who cares what they think, if they don’t like it, sell their house for a loss, they paid too much and move to la.
I guess in terms of environmental impacts, shadows may not be an issue. But what about glare?
