Here's the link to that Greenwich South study from the Downtown Alliance.

That, even though it is just a study, is wicked awesome. I* hope that when the Battery garage is eventually redeveloped, it is done with a similar magnitude of vision.

I have a strange feeling the future of Downtown is going to resemble a lot like Midtown and the streets are going to appear more congested and cramped. I know plans to reconnect the grid may provide more flexibility, but before 9/11 the spatial density between buildings in downtown was less dense. In a post 9/11 era, there is a population explosion of development all over Downtown and developers think 'more' is better than 'less'. 21st Century?

dear God this thing is georgeous! i hope it gets built!
|
One of the more amazing designs I've seen. Would certainly be a world architecture landmark, probably beyond anything even NYC has to offer. The ground level design leaves me in awe.
|
I don't like the bottom two/thirds but the top is nice looking. I would rather have a different design. it's certainly not gorgeous in my book, or one of the most amazing designs ever, heck Tour Phare (which i really really like btw) looks many times better than this.

Wow. :tup:

A little more talk about the tower...

Am I the only one who immediately thought "car bomb" when I saw that design? Hate to be the pessimist, but there is no way that design will be approved unless the height is DRASTICALLY reduced to make it less of a target.

However, I do believe if such a tower were built in that location, the tunnel approach should be covered over for a paza. http://inhabitat.com/wp-content/blog...t-Towers-8.jpg Quote:

Clearly a tower such as this one wouldn't have the large floorplates necessary in New York's office market. Beyond that, developers aren't going to spend lavishly on designs for extra-extravagant office towers, which are basically warehouses for clerks. http://inhabitat.com/wp-content/blog...t-Towers-8.jpg |
looks ugly! I think this is a very tall building!! But design not bad))
|
Driving on Edgar street will feel like diving between the legs of a supermodel who is striding down a catwalk, except here you'll be able to see the tiny creatures that do business in the crotch!
