Ouroussoff asks some tough questions, and answers them:
"What is an architect’s responsibility to Barnes’s vision of a dazzling but quirky collection of early Modern artworks housed in a rambling 1920s Beaux-Arts pile? Is it possible to reproduce its spirit in such a changed setting? Or does trying to replicate the Barnes’s unique aura only doom you to failure?
The answers found in the drawings of Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, the New York architects who took the commission, are not reassuring."
