The Museum of Arts and Design is planning a redesign for the ugly-as-sin aesthetically challenged 2 Columbus Circle building in which the original facade would be redone in a terra cotta scrim. (Proposed design, right.) Or we could just have Christo wrap it, declare it "art," and save the money.

Give Christo the duct tape
Gawker · 02/16/03 12:50AM"For the past week, I've had this nasty cough that wakes me up a lot in the middle of the night, so I've been hearing the Brian Lehrer show replay on WNYC around 2 a.m. Last night the topic was about terrorism, again. This was good: A listener suggested Christo wrap the city in duct tape."
