Scaffolding is expected to start going up late this week at 2 Columbus Circle, opening the way for a controversial transformation of Edward Durell Stone's building into a new home for the Museum of Arts and Design.

"We are remaking a building," Brad Cloepfil, the project's architect, said yesterday. "Restructuring it, recladding it, letting the light in."
stones building has its faults and cloepfil's new re-design is great. i still think its the wrong thing to do though.

Totally wrong. Just walked by it the other day and decided it looks like a church. Cloepfil will suffer karmic cootie attacks throughout his life for what he is about to do.

I've spent the past two months remodeling Cloepfil's Portland home. Have to say he's a good guy to work for.
