Candyland, Now!
Sometimes its nice to forget about David Child's Faustian pact with Silverstein, to forget about sweetheart deals and taxpayer financed football/basketball stadiums, to forget about Bloomany hall and you know, that awful image of Trump's mouth gaping over 'his' WTC model...
To remember the glory days of glossy Daily News spreads on sweltering proposals from Hot looking Euro architects for, yes, the Olympic Village in LIC. Yes folks, its time to relish in those innocent, halycon days, of Slick Master Plans and unperturbed optimism at New York's ability to rebuild without Political Impotence, Developer Greed, and good ole' PowerBroker Ignorance.
SO - Lets relish in Candyland Dreamtime and leave all our Bags back at SOM's place...
Fact is, beyond the sheer escapism of this, I really want MVRDV to build something in New York... Really. So, hey Rich Developer Dude, Put up a MVRDV building and I guarntee it will sell out quicker then windowless box in Dumbo, or at least a leaky cement one on a highway in the West Village.
