I have to say that I prefer more detailed and avant-garde styles although I can appreciate a certain amount of minimalism, but since we are all philistines with no vision, maybe you can enlighten on...

I agree that option 7 would be the best option if they somehow won the fight to add fill to the bay.

JFK. Page 150 of the report explains this, about how 1 additional runway would cause a reduction at LGA and that two runways would be needed to make up for this deficit

Gare Monteparnasse, another crime like Penn Station. Luckily Paris still had a bucket load of fine stations to enjoy.

I read somewhere today that Gunn, the former head of Amtrak, didn't like the Farley plan because it will cause Amtrak passengers to have to walk much further to get to trains from the subway than...

If it becomes a big enough draw, I'm sure they'll find a way to put in a light rail connection in the future.

Too drastic. I think the area needs this attraction.

Correct, they would need the cross runways no matter. But, it is not true they could not add another two parallel runways in the 13-31 direction if they were allowed fill the bay if they kept the...

I doubt LGA would ever be allowed to expand due to proximity to high density populated areas.

The RPA study showed that adding one additional 31-13 runway would reduce LGA capacity by a large...

It would be a part of the design. Dubai Marina towers are rather simple boxes topped with crowns.

It's a small walkway, how much of a park did you really expect it to be? I think it has served its purpose very well.

Although that would ruin the beauty of the structure from 7th avenue, given the ugly 1960's style architecture, it would have been a far better solution that just sticking the station underground...

The RPA didn't conflict with itself. It agreed with you but from its figures it wasn't enough to preclude runway expansion alone. So I want to see it happen to I doubt it would be the end of the...

The recent RPA study on airports showed that HSR would have little impact on airport demand at JFK, although LGA was freed up more by the elimination of the short haul flights. They concluded that...

I agree NYC has a problem with its airports, especially in capacity. Who knows what they will do, but if they don't do anything many studies have shown that economic growth will eventually be hurt...

I agree with you, but it is unfair to compare many of these palatial mega-hubs to US airports, especially those in small and rich ME nations, China or Asian city-states where the airport is used as a...

Perhaps it was in terms of being overbuilt for the time, yet I disagree overall as I consider it a civic monument that was part of the soul of NYC which was purposefully neglected. Indeed, these...

Sadly, NY's major gateway intercity train station went from a beautiful train shed in Jersey City (also demolished and I think maybe was the largest in the world) to this masterpiece, but ended up in...

The connector has been cancelled removing any logical incentive to connect the saucer with the two terminals. The plan is to use buses to and fro between the terminals now. The walkway idea is over...

I'm not interested in keeping this building. There is nothing of interest architecturally IMO. The airport is currently half 3rd world, half decent. Terminal 2, 3 and 7 are all in need of...

Do you really think that precludes the funding for such a project? The US can find the money if it wants, if it is a priority it will get done. The challenge is making it a priority. For that you...

Umm, that is unfortunate. I guess we'll just have to pin our hopes on our residential and mixed use towers then which we are having more success with (Tower Verre apparently will start soon -...

If Berlin can reconstruct the old Imperial Palace with proper materials, if Warsaw can reconstruct its old downtown correctly, we can rebuild a station without resorting to cheap substitutes. If the...

Tower really surprised me. Great Asian zen feel to this tower, very simple yet profound at the same time.

That would be very nice. Those towers are beautiful, but I'd take the modern station instead any day because a major train station is the gateway to the city. Pity it is just a stupid dream and...
