anyone following the atlantic yards development projects might be interested in this recent article from the times in which ratner talks about his plans for building in the current economy.
these polaroids were shot in the summer of 2006 when i was subletting an apartment near the yards. for another look at the yards, check out nate kensinger's photographs from underneath the project.

last saturday, while robin ran some errands at the atlantic center mall, i spent an hour or so wandering around the footprint of the atlantic yards. it seems like each successive time i come back to the yards, another building has been demolished. this time around i noticed that the historic ward's bakery (the one that partially collapsed during demo a few weeks back) had been sheathed in a white wrapper. perhaps it's the work of christo?
