Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park infographics: what's built/what's coming/what's missing, who's responsible, + project FAQ/timeline (pinned post)

Did Gehry lay off staff working on AY or just move (most of) them?

Did architect Frank Gehry lay off two dozen staffers working on Atlantic Yards, as reported by the Wall Street Journal and the Daily News?

A commenter on the Brooklyn Paper's web site had a slightly different take:
El Sonrisas from Los Angeles says:
The layoffs were not exclusively of the team, most people from the Brooklyn team remain working for Gehry Partners. The layoffs were across all projects and all ranks. Most people from the Brooklyn project, whom still work at Gehry's, were simply relocated to other projects.


If that's true, it would be much easier for Gehry to reconstitute the team should the project get back on track (and he gets paid).
