Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn is dead, says its architect Frank Gehry

Based on an interview with Frank Gehry in The Architects Newspaper, The Daily News pulls together several comments that may suggest the relationship between Gehry and the Atlantic Yards is over.

Mayor Bloomberg this week suggested the project may still get built – but on a smaller scale and without Gehry.

“It would be sad if Atlantic Yards gets built without the Gehry design, which would’ve been phenomenal for this city,” Bloomberg said. “I gather at this point it looks like that the only ways Ratner’s going to get that done is to do it at a lower cost and not to do everything at the same time.”
