ROGERS LEAVES TROUBLED TAVITS TOB

摘要

Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP) is to play no further part in the high-profile redevelopment of the Javits Convention Center, in New York. The split follows a two-and-a-half-year-long saga which has seen Roger's original competition-winning plans to expand the existing 1986 IM Pei building (AJ online 28.09.05) significantly scaled-back. According to local sources, the Jacob K Javits Development Corporation board feared incurring a further $20 million (￡10 million) in architectural fees for what is now being described as a much smaller renovation and 'modest extension' project.
