Frank Gehry to Design Manhattan Playground

Published: June 7, 2007
NEW YORK—Star architect Frank Gehry is known for his monumental titanium-clad buildings, but his next project will be much smaller, The New York Times reports. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced June 6 that Gehry will design a new playground at Battery Park, in Lower Manhattan, transforming an unused concrete lot into a community recreation area. The project will mark the first time Gehry has designed a playground.
