Gehry, the Guardian and Atlantic Yards

Alongside this photo of current work in the Vanderbilt Railyard, Brit in Brooklyn featured yesterday's UK Guardian review of architect Frank Gehry's IAC building and hints of the reviewer's skepticism about Atlantic Yards.

NoLandGrab: We have no clue exactly what they're building there, but it is amazingly Gehryesque.

"Gehry has finally arrived in New York. But when Atlantic Yards is completed in 2017, will he wish he had never done so?"

NOTE: According to the construction timeline, Atlantic Yards, if built, will probably not be completed in 2017, since the project is already behind schedule.
