A design collaboratively put together by Art students at CSULB
would have achieved the same–if not better–
results than what you see below
Whitney Museum of American Art
How big is the news for supporters of the Whitney
to credit a world-famous architect for the new look?
How small and embarrassing for supporters of the Whitney
if they had to give credit to a bunch of California students?
But the biggest and most undeniably measurable news
would be for the Whitney's budget controller.
Instead of paying $10 million dollars to a five-star architect,
it would cost $10 thousand dollars for the fifth-ranked
state university art school in the United States.

Footnotes
The actual Piano bill of cost for the re-building of the Whitney Museum was $422 Million.
Dollar-for-dollar in the United States, it would be impossible to find a better Art School
than what is on the campus of California State University at Long Beach.
