Landscape Architect Olin Out at Atlantic Yards
Tuesday, October 14, 2008, by Robert
Is it rats jumping from Bruce Ratner's (possibly) sinking ship called Atlantic Yards or something else? Noted landscape architect Laurie Olin has confirmed he is off the job: "We enjoyed a supportive and appreciative relationship with the owner/developer, the architects and the City of New York public officials. The current economic turmoil points to the truth that plans of such scope almost inevitably are realized over several economic cycles and must both be able to endure as well as be flexible to change." (Translation: money troubles.) There are also implications that a certain architect named Frank might go (at least, in part) too. [AYR]
