Discussion Groups / English Usage / July 2010New York Public Library
I'm interested in the work of the architect Norman Foster. I heard about him being commissioned for a redesign of the New York Public Library and I can fine plenty of references to this from about two years ago. I can't find anything more recent and I can't find anything about the state of said project or whether it is indeed going ahead. Anyone enlighten me?

Can't help; I can't see it anywhere on the Foster + Partners website, though, which suggests it's probably an abandoned scheme.

Even though I posted by mistake to the 'wrong' group I still get an answer. Hoorah! SignatureJohn Dean Oxford > >> I'm interested in the work of the architect Norman Foster.

For example, when you talk about a specific location of the New York Public Library you have to name that branch, e.g. "NYPL, the Donnell branch", or simply "the Donnell branch" or even simpler "The New Amsterdam". If you just say NYPL" New Yorkers assume that you refer to the 5th Avenue @ 42nd branch, or to the institution, not to a particular branch. >>>> I'm interested in the work of the architect Norman Foster.

Hurrah for me! I got it right! SignatureJohn Dean Oxford > >>>> I'm interested in the work of the architect Norman Foster.

My bad. I don't know how I got the idea you were referring to the restructuring of the Donnell branch. On the second reading I realized I was wrong. |
