Took a walk around it on Friday, it suddenly became dark and I'm a horrible photographer, but here are the results

What's nice about this metal facade is it can hide all the realities of architecture and engineering, like punctured holes for louvers and vents

Mostly because my camera is crap and there was a storm coming in. But I believe Cor-ten in most cases at this thickness tends to lighten into a pleasing patina of oranges and browns over time.

I remember looking up info as Corten as a wall material. Apparently its not intended to be used as a face material, like it's being used here. The facade cladding is probably not under any warranty at all. But we definitely see everyday buildings with Corten steel holding up quite well. But like any material, the facade pieces will need replacement over time.

It can be rolled quite thin and do duty for decades. The magic is the skin of rust.

Thanks. Can't wait to see this thing lit up at night.

Staples Center is hideous. This already looks better.

Cool stuff. Cor-ten is basically every architect's wet dream.

I've met some of the guys from SHoP. I'm glad they're getting such a huge, noteworthy commission.

There's plenty of buildings out there (especially skyscrapers here in Chicago) with Corten facades. But it is not supposed to be used for this purpose. It should be used in structural applications, not flattened into thin sheets.

Actually, I now doubt that this is Corten, and probably another an imitation product that has a similar appearance.

Barclays Center Now Really Raising the Roof, And Here's Proof



Tuesday, October 25, 2011, by Sara Polsky

Quote:
Here's something to keep basketball fans occupied during the lockout: the construction progress at the Barclays Center. A tipster in the know passes along the above photo of the arena getting its roof—last time we checked in, the first of the roof's two 350-foot-long support trusses was only just being installed. How fast they grow up! The neighbors are cheering it on, of course.

Mystery somewhat solved. I asked one of the workers what the facade was and he said it was coming from a firm called ASI Limited, based in Indiana.

It is a form of weathering steel, the exact nature I'm unsure. A quick call to the company would probably clear it up.

Good call Hayward.

Good thing the arena doesn't open this year with the on-going NBA lockout.

Fearing Atlantic Yards arena traffic crunch, locals seek neighborhood parking permits
City Council hearing on parking permit bill set for Thursday


BY Erin Durkin
November 1 2011

Quote:
Neighbors around the Atlantic Yards project are pushing for residential parking permits to deal with the thousands of cars set to flood the area when the new Barclays Center arena opens.

The permit system, which needs approval from city and state lawmakers, could start with pilot programs in the blocks around Atlantic Yards and Yankee Stadium, sources said. Most of the spaces in the area would be set aside for motorists who live in the neighborhood and pay a modest annual fee.

The bill - which was introduced two years ago, but was stalled until now - would allow 80% of parking in residential areas to be set aside for locals with permits. Commercial strips would not be covered.
