Who's Bigger?

Gehry Largest Stoop in Brooklyn.jpg
Frank Gehry's proposed stoop at Atlantic Yards is being called the "biggest stoop in Brooklyn." But back when the Brooklyn Museum was completing its new facade, Director Arnold Lehman bragged about building "Brooklyn's newest and largest 'front stoop.'" (PDF) It was designed by Polshek Partnership. BMA Art Throb.jpg
Remember: Size doesn't matter. It all depends on how it gets used. (From www.artthrob.co.za)

We count about 10 steps each based on these images. So we hold our breath. Will Gehry out-Brooklyn Polshek?
