NY Times, 5.20, 1999, letter to (Arts) editor:
(Re: Muschamp critical remarks about "appropriate" design)
"...appropriateness sometimes protects and enhances existing urban ambiance.
For example, when the Jewish Museum decided to demolish the 1963 glass and
steel List Pavilion and rebuilt on the site ... its architect, the modernist
Kevin Roche, chose to replicate the museum's adjacent 1908 Gothic building by
C. P. H. Gilbert."
"...it is doubtful that many would have argued in favor of something like a
titanium-clad wedge for that site.... Signed, Scott Stringer"
I vote for the titanium, either wedge or spiral OK. Who else? (Hey, Estelle
- what do you think?)
Signed, Double Dactyl
