The idea that local talent never had a chance is not completely true. How do I know? I asked MOCAD. They solicited proposals from architects all over the world, including several from Detroit. The selection committee was not only members of the MOCAD Board but also members of the community including two planners and an architect. This was not simply a matter of "Hey, let's get the Dia: Beacon and High Line folks! Call 'em up and see if they're available." -Kelly Ellsworth [Better Luck Next Time Detroit Architects: MOCAD Made The Right Choice]
