Wow this guy is quite well know that side of the world, and its great that he is well liked. It would have been great to have had some of his work on display just to see what he has done, but an interesting post all the same

Though you may think Karl Fischer has done a couple dozen projects in NY and Montreal, it is a lot closer to hundreds of projects. In NY alone in one part of Williamsburg, there were more than 35 projects. With the recession things are of course slowing down for all architects in NYC and Montreal. The money is not available for the owners and developers. Anyway, check out the real situation by going to the real articles on the buildings being built in Montreal and NYC by Karl Fischer. The Slate, 260 Park Avenue,
Fulton St, John Street, 19th St. all in Manhattan, Williamsburg, Green Point, Long Island City, The Power House, and on and on……………

Um, actually, I think “Hot Karl,” as Curbed dubs his works, has become shorthand for ugly, soulless abominations deposited, like dog doo, on our streets with almost a willful disregard of others, particularly in Williamsburg/Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I imagine my grandchildren will look on those architectural defecations, if they’re still standing then, and wonder, as we do when regarding the few remaining bulwarks of brutalism: What the hell were they thinking? But I’ll say this in their defense: they are a perfect visual representation of the forces of gentrification buffeting those neighborhoods and leaving an urban suburbia in their wake.
