Changes Are Afoot In Downtown Brooklyn
The NY Sun
By Francis Morrone
More buzz about Bruce Ratner's CityTech building — rumored to be vying for the "Tallest Building in Brooklyn" title — this time with a little circumspection regarding Renzo Piano's design:
Those renderings floating around — an old one and a newer one — look a lot alike, and they both look very much like the kind of precision-tooled high-tech modernism we've come to expect from Mr. Piano. It may end up a good building — even a great building. But given that Mr. Piano is hardly likely to do anything more for Brooklyn than pull an old design out of a drawer, and given that Brooklyn abounds in buildings better than anything Mr. Piano has ever designed, might not City Tech tone down its self-congratulation just a notch?
