Paul Goldberger's review of the overhall at 2 Columbus Circle.
"Ultimately, Cloepfil has been trapped between paying homage to a legendary building and making something of his own. As a result... the building’s proportions and composition seem just as odd and awkward as they ever did."

Mr. Goldberger's article is good, but I like this quote from a Men's Vogue article online about it, that I think the Goldberger article misses:
But when the new museum opens next September across Eighth Avenue from the Time Warner Center, New York will have gained not only a revived cultural institution and a new landmark for the 21st century but the most exuberant addition to its urban fabric in decades: a daring statement that modernism is an eternally renewable aesthetic resource. Even the shrillest pro-Stone preservationist might recant.
