Frank Gehry’s Latest Revealed [Curbed]
I hate it because it’s hideous. It’s Gehry’s ego trip, not architecture. He can do much better than that but I guess he wants his legacy to read: cutting edge; unliveable, eyesores to order. Ruckus Manhattan by Red Grooms looked better than this.
it looks like Co-op City after a few too many swigs of Cisco.
I like it but don’t think it will ever be built. When it comes time for construction they will see that doing something like this is much more expensive and they will replace it with a more standard box.
Things like museums aren’t profit driven and need to take an artistic angle, this project does not and I don’t think that FCRC will be able to justify the extra expense to build a design like this over something that is plain and boring.
2:59PM – They dont like it b/c no matter what was proposed they would be against it – unless it was 20 more blocks of 19th century brownstones
I am really curious, do most of the posters here not like it because they really believe it is bad architecture and will harm the whole city, or do thsy just not like it because it will be a big complex close to their own homes, which was an empty hole when they bought their houses?
I think it looks great. Although nothings as nice as the Dunkin Doughnuts and discount stereo outlet there now, or wait, that Modell’s/PC Richard complex is a real icon of great architecture.
The Borg have assimilated Brooklyn. I’m told resistance is futile.
I like the Bilbao museum. I don’t like this, no matter where is is.
Hideous and totally inapproprite to Brooklyn. Might make a great moonbase, though.
it amazes me that all of the ratner provided drawings and renderings usually show one or perhaps 2 buildings. which may explain why most people think of it in terms of a new arena coming to brooklyn. what about the other 20 high rise towers? woops, forgot to include those….
