Book Review: 'Conversations With Frank Gehry' by Barbara Isenberg
Los Angeles Times
By Christopher Hawthorne
The reviewer of this collection of Frank Gehry interviews cannily observes how a certain Brooklyn project is hardly mentioned:
Isenberg generally steers clear of touchy subjects, notably the controversy that has surrounded the Brooklyn project. Known as Atlantic Yards, and designed to cover as many as 22 acres with 8 million square feet of new construction, it has been bitterly opposed by neighborhood activists. Gehry has sounded ambivalent about the commission of late and hardly seems to mourn the fact that the project may never be built, even in piecemeal form.
NoLandGrab: Perhaps some have "bitterly opposed" Atlantic Yards, but some of us have been happy to do what we can for a better Brooklyn.
