Arena design released: "Weathered steel and glass" (but what about the rest of the project?)
Atlantic Yards Report
Norman Oder reproduces the press release, with some commentary and images interspersed. Noteworthy: the arena has shrunk by about 20%.
Well, the new designs of the Atlantic Yards arena have been released and, while it's surely an improvement over the Ellerbe Becket "hangar," the buildings around it are, at best, mirages, there's no Phase 2 (of course), and it's hard to believe that the arena--as previously stated--would be 150 feet tall. The renderings portray it as far more modest.
