No Mas Skyscrapers, Says MAS
Brooklyn Downtown Star
By Nik Kovac
There might be a lot of good selling points for Forest City's massive development proposal in Prospect Heights, but good design principles are not among them, according to the Municipal Arts Society (MAS), a Manhattan-based advocacy group of architects, designers, and planners.
"The Forest City people would not be human if they did not wonder why we chose to focus on their project," conceded MAS President Kent Barwick, "when there are so many other more mundane and uninspiring proposals throughout the city. The answer is simple: Because so much is at stake."
