Wacky ‘Angel’ builder will work with wackier developer
Brooklyn Paper
New Broken Angel developer gets a dig in at Gehry while supporting actual Brooklyn architecture:
The artist who created the Department of Building’s most-hated — and Clinton Hill’s most-beloved — building could soon be bringing his artistic vision (and code violations, critics say) to a wider audience.Broken Angel creator Arthur Wood, and his new business partner, Shahn Christian Andersen, want to do more than just rebuild Wood’s Downing Street ziggurat — the building out of which Wood was hauled by the NYPD last year because it had so many structural flaws.
“I plan on using him to design my future developments,” said Andersen, who has rebuilt or developed about a dozen buildings in his six-year career.
...
“I expect it to look more creative than anything Frank Gehry has done in 30 years,” he said.
