The Real Deal New York

From the September issue: As the downturn continues, work has fallen off even for some of the most celebrated architects working in New York City.
In a widely reported move this June, Frank Gehry was booted from
the Atlantic Yards arena job in favor of an architectural firm that
would save the project money. And last month, Robert A.M. Stern told The Real Deal that his firm has seen projects put on hold because of the economy (he declined to give specifics).
In response to the slowdown, some starchitects are scaling back
their office operations and shifting to more institutional work to deal
with the drought of new development projects.
