Renzo Piano's Nasher Sculpture Center controversy continues Archinect2012-11-26T19:14:00-05:00>2012-11-26T19:15:41-05:00<img src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/1e/1e96035940ce36f7333a9a2d6571c9fe.jpg" width="514" height="343" border="0" title="" alt="" /><em><p>This year both parties met to begin working toward some sort of solution. Negotiations soon turned sour; squabbles ensued. The tower people wanted the museum to modify its roof. The museum replied by saying, essentially, "we were here first." Tom Luce, a local lawyer and civic leader, agreed to act as a mediator. Late last month he stepped aside in frustration.
