It came from the Blogosphere...
Curbed.com, Frank Gehry to Have Prospect Heights Historic Dist. Neighbor?
How Prospect Heights will look against the background of a future Atlantic Yards is anyone's guess, but there may be some comfort in knowing that the neighborhood will probably be a Historic District.
Un an à Brooklyn, This is the last time
While working as an au pair in NYC, a French student found an interesting subject that deserves further study:
Je vais donc finalement en Master de Géopolitique, spécialité Enjeux territoriaux et gestions des conflits de pouvoirs... à Paris 8. Et cours, euh uniquement 1 jour par semaine, le reste du temps, je dois bosser sur mon mémoire, que je fais sur devinez quoi ??? Un projet d'urbanisme très controversé à Brooklyn, Atlantic Yards. Du coup, je suis obligée (trop dur), d'y retourner pour mener mon enquête de terrain quelques semaines en Février.
Lost in translation:
I thus go finally in Master de Géopolitique, territorial Enjeux speciality and managements of the conflicts of capacities... in Paris 8. And, euh only 1 day per week, the remainder of time, I run must work on my report, which I make on guess what??? A project of town planning very discussed in Brooklyn, Atlantic Yards. Blow, I am obliged (too much hard), to go back there to carry out my survey of ground a few weeks in February.
Foodantics, Recess
A Brooklynite finally finds time to meet up with friends, but is apparently not impressed with Bruce Ratner's controversial megaproject:
After dinner Hope went back to the city and Stephen and Stefan and I went to Freddy's, a bar which may well be destroyed due to the (evil) Atlantic Yards project.
The Knickerblogger, Some Idiot....
on the yet to be seen design for Beekman Tower - another Ratner-Ghery 'masterpiece:'
Nor am I willing to take the word- site unseen, - that the building is 'drop dead gorgeous' because I have yet to see anything by Gehry that would remotely be called beautiful, and I am highly skeptical of the taste of anyone who would describe a building as 'drop dead gorgeous'
