I assumed the post suggesting the museum was a joke.

I find it mildly disturbing that members of the TC seem willing to push the notion that Meiers should be somehow forced onto the current architect/developer.
In any event, will probably be a non-issue given the valid issue raised by SGW and others above.

It defies basic logic that people who are bemoaning the current plan because it doesn't fit the character of the village are now interested in something like this. I just do not get it. At all.

I've just communed with Antoni Gaudi and he's agreed to to design the new building. The only cost is that we provide an endless supply of absinthe. I've taken upon myself to tell him that we'd want something like this, as it perfectly fits the character of the village.
There will be a walk-up seance this Saturday on the BofA steps if you'd like to ask him some questions.

when Meier was against demo, what was he told would be built on the site? was he shown the photos of the Station House, 3rd and Valley, and the PSE&G site?

Corrected course for you all...Meier is against demo - he is in favor of saving the building and re-purposing it. He said so at CHS 2 weeks ago. Let's see how this plays out.

I was in contact with Gaudi as well, and when I insisted to him that an enormous cathedral would be way out of scale with our village, he changed his mind. He was a firm believer in repurposing, and showed me an example of what he could do with an existing structure. His idea was to transform the post office into this:

The article mentions that Meier said in his email that; “[The proposed building] shouldn’t be built.”
and that; “I’d (he'd) be happy to design something for the site”
That doesn't mean he's against demo or for repurposing.

Obviously all of that needs to be clarified.

Someone should post the email then, in the interest of transparency, yes? Seems like a lot of baseless conjecture without it.

Of all people to decide to be serious on a very silly thread, you, really?
You can't tell me it wouldn't be awesome to have a Musuem of Modernist Architecture right in the center of the Village! I would love that!
