That's f--ing incredible! I walked by that site just yesterday after brunch and was wondering about it. If I go again I will get pictures of this corner.

If only he had remained behind a cubicle with his peers. This is one of the ugliest buildings I've ever seen proposed in the world let alone NYC and I'm going to be furious if this is approved. HIDEOUS. :yuck:
|
Its not Bjarke's best, if you go to his website you will see he has great designs, but more importantly his projects are based on programmatic and user diagrams so that more than just looking cool, they work.
|
I don't mind the design, however it seems like the pyramid design doesn't utilize the space on the lot very well. Why not build something a bit more convenient and take advantage of the space they have...
|
great building.
much better pictures and video: http://www.big.dk/projects/w57/ the picture in the first post doesn't do it justice. |
build it, now! ... and taller! :D
|
FANTASTIC:tup:
|
Pretty cool
|
This one has my mouth absolutely watering. If they use the right materials, this will likely be one of the best buildings of the decade.
|
I like it. I think its the perfect location and oppurtunity for a building of this type in Manhattan.

I've seen and heard of this building before. Looks really nice, especially to live in!
|
I change my mind. I love this building!
|
This is brilliant. What is the likelihood of this getting built?
|
I like it alot! If I had to nitpick about one thing its the base, the slope just isn't right just above it, its too squashed just to fill out the lot line, it doesn't have the same flow the rest of the building has. The rest of the building is genius, this isn't function following form as the shape allows almost all apartments a water view. The random window pattern we've seen all over the City is finally put on an interesting treatment and not a simple box for once! The slash in the middle is great, the protruding windows are great! Will this building be kitschy and dated? It already is, this is straight from the Montreal Expo, but it looks great nevertheless, just as the Montreal Olympic Stadium and Trans America Pyramid do today, a good eye for design is a good eye for design regardless of how far out the concept is.
|
Love it! Beautiful "out-of-the-box" (no pun intended) design. Hope it becomes a reality.
|
This is one unique building. I like it. It looks like a pyramid, but it also looks like a giant came, and bent in the walls. Still it's really cool.
|
I'm all for it.
