More Renderings of New Arena Design
In the wake of Nicolai Ouroussoff’s hammering review of the new design for the Atlantic Yards arena, the Times’ City Room blog dug up some additional renderings from the architecture firm Ellerbe Becket.

Hello, Cleveland! [I Cover the Automat]
No arena please
This is not Weimar Bauhaus
Please return to school
Oldtimer – protest is fine at all but if you don’t offer a reality based alternative you get the shitty one – as in this case. Protestors rubberstamped bunch a ‘No’s and some self serving local politicians and individuals took advantage of them. Now you get – good ol Midwestern sports complex.
Now it will definitely not go away.
I am completely confused by these renderings: the technique is so different from what I normally see I focus on the style of the rendering vs what they are showing….
Hard to say what I think about the design: There isn’t enough visual information.
With all of that said: does this remind anyone else of Bauhaus style drawings?
I totally agree with those posters noting that people against AY complained endlessly about Gehry’s design, only to embrace it once it ceases to be an option. You guys hate everything!

Public dough can make you rich!
Packaging is key

The bulldozers are scheduled to roll thru Brooklyn and there ain’t nutthin we can do. So let’s load up our wagons and head to California I hear that there are jobs and land galore.
We are now twenty fist century shizoid men and should know that to protest will just make it worse for everyone. So be quiet and maybe the big Ratner will go away.
ROFL. People complained about the original project. Now you end up with a more craptastic project. Yeah – all that lawsuits and protests have made the project even better looking. Yay!
This will be a Titanic black hole that will leave the remaining survivors in the surrounding neighbourhoods clinging to their life boats.
This is the end of Brooklyn. I see two choices ; become a scalper or sell T-shirts out side the stadium or just get the hell out of Dodge.
A slight glimmer of hope for high end architecture?
Gehry is not a “high end architect” but a self-indulgent, no talent hack who’s famous for being famous– nothing more, nothing less. Thank God he’s been excised from this project; we’ll be spared the embarrassment of an EMP or some other building that leaks, has engineering problems, and looks like trash from every angle.
