Not a Slam Dunk
Brooklyn Daily Eagle editorial gives a more balanced look than their Courthouse News section:
Whatever gets built there ought to stress street life and the shops and gathering places that make for neighborhood feeling. Architecture, however brilliant, can’t do that by itself. Ouroussoff would like to see an essentially free hand for Gehry – “locate real talent, encourage it to break the rules, get out of the way” – which is putting a lot of faith in someone for whom this would be the first time he has designed more than an individual building. The plan – both plans – still need to be presented in more detail and to be studied from the ground up.
