Arquitectonica's proposal for Queens West is a 22-acre mixed-use project that includes 45-story residential towers along a waterfront esplanade facing Manhattan.
A housing development in Queens being designed by Morphosis Architects of Los Angeles would trace the East River shoreline.
The Morphosis housing development, at left, was originally conceived as part of New York's bid for the 2012 Olympics.
