Atlantic Yards Rumors Appear True as Ellerbe Becket Steps in to 'Reevaluate' Frank Gehry's Plans

Remember when it was rumored that developer Bruce Ratner was looking for another architect to replace Frank Gehry on the much-trimmed Atlantic Yards project, despite the press teams fighting off such ideas (“Frank Gehry has not been removed from the project”)? And then Frank Gehry himself sort of stuck his foot in his mouth by saying he’d given up hope on being involved with the Yards going forward — again much to the chagrin of the press handlers? Well, if you can believe it, apparently all of these crazy rumors seem to have maybe come true after all.
