Gehry discusses inspirations
Yale Daily News
By Jerry Guo
During a talk at the School of Architecture on Friday, architect and visiting professor Frank Gehry said he has lately drawn great inspiration from the music world and has even discussed his shifting interests with hip-hop artist Jay-Z -- a co-owner of the Nets basketball team, for which Gehry has designed a new stadium in downtown Brooklyn.
...
Gehry said his background in urban planning influenced his design of the Nets arena, which is part of developer Bruce Ratner's controversial redesign of the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn.
NoLandGrab: Gehry must have studied urban planning during the hey-day of superblocks, because you can't spit on the Atlantic yards plan without hitting a tower in a park.
