Check out this craziness.. I say if you go futuristic, go FULL futuristic. This is on 520 West 28th Street in New York.

The curves and clean sweeps remind me of an apple product, and it's only about 11 stories, proof that it's not about the height of a building, but the quality of its construction.

My main issue with most "modern" construction is simply that it's boring - I like innovative designs - it's one reason I love heritage buildings. I am all FOR modern construction if it is imaginative.. but one can only take so many glass rectangles..

Also kudos to them on the curved glass - I can only think of 2 or 3 places in the entire city where curved glass remains on a structure..



Also this image shows something I've really wanted to see in hamilton - green walkway above ground bridge walkways. I love it!

The prices are absolutely absurd though - I checked one rental listing - $18,000 a MONTH - I kid you not. New york is insane.
