We Need More Zoning
NY Observer
by Matt Chaban
The Observer gives Bruce Ratner a semi-pass on Atlantic Yards's open space in a semi-paean to Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman.
Given the right constraints, however, the city’s developers can actually do good. Even if Atlantic Yards will be a public space disaster as Mr. Kimmelman seems to suggest, Bruce Ratner has pushed his architects at SHoP to create the best space around his arena possible, even if it is not nearly enough space.
Someone going by "normanoder" left the following comment:
Ratner has been pushing his architects "to create the best space around his arena possible"? How about "the best space, given that there's no office tower and Urban Room as promised"?
