Theater Troupe to Get a $38 Million Brooklyn Home "by Hugh Hardy and Frank Gehry." The rendering seems to tell a different story. NYTimes
OK, let's take a look at what the Times found out: While architects often team up on projects, one often takes a secondary role. Mr. Hardy emphasized yesterday that the theater had been a full-fledged collaboration with Mr. Gehry. "It's not important who did what," he said. Mr. Gehry, who was unable to attend the news conference, said in a telephone interview: "It's mostly Hugh's building. They didn't really need me."

The glass-sheathed structure, designed by noted architects Frank Gehry and Hugh Hardy, will serve as home for the Theater for a New Audience.
The city's Economic Development Corp. is chipping in $6.2 million of the $35.8 million cost.
Next to the planned theater, the Brooklyn Public Library is installing a 110,000-square-foot visual and performing arts branch that's being designed by Mexican architect Enrique Norten.

Not to diss Hugh Hardy in any way... but this article immediately made me think of this...
It's the kind of building they would have crucified you in school for doing.
Yeah... it's not trying too hard.... not trying hard at all actually.
what the f
did any of you see the gehry roof awnings???
oh mi god the worst shit ever
Not to mention the obliteration of the splayed view from Norten's brillant building. Absolutely worthless. We're already getting the FOG Stadium and strato-Housing to the East. Feh!
Bring me the head of Marty Markowitz(!) Brooklyn needs a city architect to keep a handle on all of these (master)plans. It's out of control, man.
