Brett Campbell, a Portland-based arts writer, responds to Martin Filler‘s guest blog post, MAD’s Striptease: Cloepfil Shows New York What He’s Got:
Brad Cloepfil has done some magnificent work around
the country and is on his way to becoming one of America’s leading
museum architects. This project [the new Museum of Arts & Design] was fraught with challenges from the
get-go; I wonder what he could have done if offered the freedom to
really give the building the total overhaul—or replacement—it
needed.
