So if Gehry is still in charge of the master plan, would he be in a more ceremonial, ineffectual role like Libeskind was with the WTC redesign? Or did they just hand over the arena for the sake of expediency to Ellerbe-Beckett and Gehry will still be doing the towers?
I'd prefer the former, though I agree with NYguy that the rest of the development shouldn't become so banal as to once again come up short against Manhattan. Brooklyn would benefit from a visible mega-development like this and it would be a shame to waste it on more Costas-Kondylis blandness.
