Dear Editor:
I just read your article and saw the artist’s depiction of the planned gallery and museum.
Are you kidding me?
They’re going to stick what amounts to a tent on a barge as a showpiece of our waterfront? If you want inspiration for what could be done, look to another port city, Oslo.
Look at their new opera house, a building that flows seamlessly to the water, a beautiful building that all Norwegians can be proud of.
How about a building that shows a little art in its design, maybe something that incorporates a stylized interpretation of a marine way sloping into the water to remind us of our shipbuilding heritage — anything but that monstrosity currently proposed for our waterfront.
