 Frank Gehry: Community, Community, Community Tuesday, April 25, 2006
Our dearest RoPog hits the blinged-up Gehry on the head again with a take on his latest LA "downtown rejuvenation" project, which is—to parse her prose—a pile of buildings, some of them pink, some of them not. A quick scan down the page tells us, a no-more-informed reader than any of RoPog's other fans, that it will be a little bit Brooklyn Ratner, a little bit Walt Disney, and a little bit Mulberry Street. Quite, but isn't architecture there to do something else? Create greater meaning? Bring people together? Yes, Frank said, Yes. He said his goal was "to develop the beginning of a community that has the body language of a community and has the scale of a community."Oh thank God. Given it's usually got the body language of a Flynter and the scale of a dragonfish. · Los Angeles With a Downtown? [NYT] All set here?
