But you might get a little ‘told you so’: the LMDC announced the award of commissions for the two ‘cultural’ sites at the WTC today, tapping the pervasive bombast of Frank Gehry for the Performing Arts building, of whom nothing was predicted (I opted for Vinoly as an exercise in damage control over the continuing sore loser card he has been playing), and the relative unknowns of Snøhetta, picked here as the likely sacrifical lamb for the Museum facility. I have nothing to add about either: for the latter, well, I plead ignorance, even as their site has some nice projects, and for Gehry, Bilboa can offset only so many abominations of formal subjectivity. Look for the use of ‘soaring’ and ‘expressive’ ad nauseum over the next few days.
