I’m not trying to start another debate here,
but that logo would look better with a spire . .
- Skyguy 7
sweet sentiment, skyguy 7. .
I do like the logo just fine . . a nice intertwining of letters . . .
but we DO need that spire . . that simple, elegantly proportioned deco spire . .
not on the logo, of course, . . but in the high niche . .
in the recess in the NE corner of CPT's otherwise bland "crown" . .
Without this particular compelling accessory, . .
once offered, then snatched away . . the NYC skyline
is dominated by mere "foreign" bombastic banality . .
Who amongst us, actually gives a shit . .
how the expensive CPT apartments, for super rich Chinese, will look inside ? . .
There's no observation deck for us average New Yorkers . .
no ambitious crowning gesture on America's preeminent premises . .
no triumphant emblem of exuberance to connect with us dreamers of vision . .
instead Extell gives us an emphatic "Shhh!, The foreign rich deserve our discretion!' . .
(while lavishly presiding over us . . ostentatiously removed in their highfalutin tower . . without a smidgeon of alleviating architectural elegance, offered to us, on the outside . .
not one dollop of design deliciousness . . Such Jurisprudence !!!!!
Yeah comrades, what do WE get to see ? . . nuttin' much.
we get lambasted with an ominous overhang . . we get an absolutely KILLJOY crown . .
and we get unapologetically cold dispassionate inhospitable walls . .
1555,555500 feet high ! . . oh boy ! . . a really big, really bad, tasteless building . .
and yeah, that one element, could've made all the difference . .
so disappointing.
