ORLANDO, Fla.

The demolition company in charge of taking down the round building in downtown Orlando has notified the city that it cannot finish the work, Channel 9 learned Tuesday.

Crusader Demolition, which landed the $736,000 job, has been criticized for issues and delays related to the project, which was meant to make way for the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

The project was supposed to be finished by November's opening of DPAC, but the large pile of debris off Orange Avenue remains.

The city sent a letter to Crusader Contracting, saying the company failed to perform and meet the project schedule over the last six months and that the company is in default, saying Crusader recently removed its equipment from the worksite.

The city is giving the demolition company seven days to provide a schedule and plan on how it would complete the work. If there's no plan to finish the project within seven days, the city said it will terminate the company's contract.

Part of the contract required Crusader Demolition to have a performance bond with a third party company. If the contract is terminated, the bond company will take over what remains of the project and select a new contractor to complete the work.

City officials said the ordeal will not result in any additional costs.

Karen Van Lengen and James Welty created a multimedia installation to encourage visitors to experience buildings like Grand Central Terminal not only through their eyes, but also their ears.

When you're walking around New York City, you probably won't find people looking up. Even the majestic main concourse of Grand Central Terminal can rarely stop a native New Yorker in her tracks.

But, tourists like Lidize Mora from Las Vegas are a different story.

"I love it! It feels like a palace. I can imagine people having a wedding here," she exclaims, gazing at the marble staircases under a cerulean-blue ceiling of the Beaux Arts-style building.

But a new multimedia exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York is encouraging visitors to experience architecture not only with their eyes, but also with their ears.

Karen Van Lengen, who created the installation with her husband, James Welty, says to really soak in a building, you need to listen to it.

"If you close your eyes, what you're going to hear are things that you can't hear with your eyes open," says Van Lengen, an architecture professor at the University of Virginia.

She recorded sounds in iconic New York buildings for Soundscape New York to capture sonic details like the tinkling of forks and knives from Grand Central's balcony restaurants. She says she hopes the installation will push people to stop, shut out visual distractions and think about the building they're standing in.

"It's not just about the image of buildings, or what the buildings look like," Van Lengen says. "It's what the buildings actually are, what kinds of life can go on in those spaces."
