What ever it is... it's epic. but... a little to much
|
I have never been so speechless about a skyscraper in my life before
|
wow
|
The more I look at it, the more confused I get.
|
Waaaaaaay too much going on with that facade. Kind of a gaudy, garish, German Baroque-ish totem-pole.
|
Well, things do look a bit run-amok to the point at which the fenestration/skin can't be truly appreciated.
If they ratchet the artwork down without making it look borderline banal, we have ourselves a neo-Deco icon a la 111 West. the gold/bronze treatment along the towers surface can stand a bit of being kept in check, too. I think the architect was described as "Stern meets Gehry". |
^ gramsjdg, I'm also starting to notice how this tower has a lot of gears. It looks like they're merging German Baroque with Steampunk, Art Deco, and Futurist. This must be the villain's headquarters in all future movies filmed in New York
|
So that's the new set up for summoning Gozer the Gozerian?
|
Ugliest building ever designed.
|
Pretty interesting. I'm sure this design is something akin to what clothing designers do for their runway shows; exhibit loud and extravagant concepts to showcase art and creativity. This isn't going to be made but maybe the ideas will be incorporated in the future.
|
What a vulgar lurid rod.
|
Among other things it reminds me of a skyscraper manifestation of that satanic sculpture painting thing behind Al Pacino's desk in the Devils Advocate. Am I wrong?
|
Keep it out of gotham and send it to Dubai where it belongs.
|
I wish Donald Trump would have designed this tower, then it all would have made sense.
But as the design appears, it's chaos. :rolleyes: Then I watched the video and couldn't stop smiling the entire time.Do we need this building? |
This is, of course, a mess. It does stir something in me though. I would not mind seeing a return to ornamentation in contemporary design - of course, executed with more tact than this.
Luckily, this project won't be moving forward as reported by curbed. What blew me away though is that the architect seemed to confirm that this was a genuine plan for an actual developer and not a pie in the sky experimental design. http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2015/1...7th_street.php |
