Hahaha.
Actually that little block that he wants to replace is awesome. Good thing this will never happen. |
i wish this was a real proposal, lol

Imagine this monstrosity built in this view (just behind Confucious Plaza).

You know what, I say go for it (even if it's a vision). When the Empire State Building was built, and even to this day it's surrounded by mid-highrises. This will be the same thing. Fifty years from now 1,500-2,000 footers will be crowding the city, doing to the 1,000 footers, what the 1,000 footers do to the 500 footers today. If this picture of the Larkin Building doesn't explain anything, then I don't know what will.
http://skyscraperpage.com/gallery/da...nyc-larkin.jpg Look around the Larkin Building at Midtown (even though it's from 1926). All tiny buildings being dwarfed by the Larkin. Same thing the Zhongshan Building is doing to Chinatown (in the vision). Whether we like it or not beautiful and ugly (432 Park) megatall buildings will be dwarfing the skyline, and this is the 1,500 to 2,000 range (in Midtown and Downtown). So that means Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho, Noho, Meatpacking Dist etc. will all be getting 500-900 footers. The only problem I have with the Zhongshan Center is it's design, and the fact that if you wanna GO then GO all the way and make it the Worlds Tallest Building, especially since you're getting 5 precious Manhattan blocks. BTW CONFUCIUS PLAZA. No O in Confucius, and this will look pretty bad behind CONFUCIUS Plaza. |
Nice design. Reminds me of KLi 63 in Seoul
|
How about "build it and they will come"? :D
I just hope I'll be alive when NY gets its first 2000 footer... :rolleyes: |
^ What do you mean build it and they will come. NYC is already a well established city. It's not Dubai where NYC has to build tall buildings to attract people to come, who won't even be permanent residents. Dubai has to set it's priorities straight. First, second, and third (nature) streets, sidewalks, roads, highways, parks, etc. Architecture AFTER a WHILE. If NYC didn't have tourists for the next 20-30 years it would still be the most populous city in the U.S. 20 million people appox. pass through the land known as Manhattan A DAY. Lets see 1.6 million residents, the other 18.4 million tourists, commuters, visitors etc. We don't need an ugly 2,000 footer to make people come to NYC, we got the ESB (that's all that needs to be said).

This building is extremely unattractive. It's just not good looking at all. There isn't anything to it. No design planning, no exterior planning, short mast, poor interiors, because of this I am considering this to not even be a serious proposal, but of a vision.
|
^ You THINK it's a vision.

^ The guy who is proposing this is neither a developer nor an architect so if this is a proposal its in his mind. But if you or I ever proposed this or anything it would still be a vision. But let's say it is a proposal then it would be in the stale proposal category cause there's just no way this is getting built.
|
This would look really bad cause its just way to fat.
|
I would like it better if it were scaled down a lot, and built somewhere else.
