BAM , Enrique Norten a No Go

Yes, the arch world is full of chatter this morning about Enrique Norten's design for a building that will house the Brooklyn Public Library in downtown Brooklyn.

Now that we got over the memorable hook "now seems likely to sink, unrealized, into the pavement," did you read through the rest of the NYT article? Namely,

“I always had this crazy vision of Brooklyn being the Left Bank of New York,” [Harvey Lichenstein] added. “It’s not so crazy anymore.”

Will this be a revolving door of potential arts projects? If you throw out enough ideas, maybe one of them will stick.
