Starchitect on trial for creating monstrous ‘toaster on steroids’ Safdie delivers ‘shrewd, intelligent’ examination of the WOW! factor
The Villager
by Jerry Tallmer
The Villager reviews Oren Safdie's play, "The Bilbao Effect."
What Oren Safdie has here given us is a shrewd, clear-eyed up-to-the-minute exegesis on the hubris of a profession more sacrosanct in some ways than the medical; and more vulnerable — as when what seemed like all of Brooklyn rose up against the Atlantic Yards. Not to mention the ongoing nine-year fiasco of what was supposed to rise like the Phoenix from Ground Zero.
The Bilbao Effect in reverse, so to speak.
