The Building That Isn’t There

Excerpt:

Does the municipal log duly show that Brad Cloepfil, the architect about to transform Edward Durell Stone’s historic white marble Huntington Hartford museum on Columbus Circle, means to render it ”more ephemeral?”

”Ephemeral” is Architect Cloepfil’s own word, I hasten to add, as in here today and gone tomorrow, and the nouveau-named Museum of Arts and Design, originally the homely old dosey-doe American Craft Museum, now on West 53rd Street, is busy raising more than $50 million to have him do it.
