#TeamDSR vs. #TeamTWBTA: Oh dear. In case you missed it, Robin Pogrebin reports that the friendship between two of New York's most notable architecture couples—Tod Williams, FAIA, and Billie Tsien, AIA, and Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, AIA—is not weathering well the news that the Tod and Billie–designed former Folk Art Museum building will be razed to make way for the Ric and Liz–designed expansion to the Museum of Modern Art. Everyone else seems divided over the decision, too, with some (such as ARCHITECT's Aaron Betsky) taking #TeamDSR's side for pragmatic firm-client reasons and others (such as critics Christopher Hawthorne, Alexandra Lange, and Mark Lamster) greeting the expansion plans with skepticism.

Snaps and the City: The Museum of the City of New York recently acquired a set of photographs by Edmund V. Gillon, most of which are architectural shots. Many of the Manhattan buildings he captured no longer exist. This one, a Cast-Iron District building purchased by artist Donald Judd before that neighborhood morphed into SoHo, may be one of the few buildings shot by Gillon that looks better today than it did in its prime, thanks to a renovation by Architecture Research Office.
