MoMA Expansion

Don't believe this has showed up on this forum but helpful video and images that brings the actual MoMA expansion into focus.
(Have to love DS+R's animations)

Already a classic icon for New York.

Dynamic version of a classical modernist tower. A modern Hancock building with a bit of swagger.

"A bit", he sez....

aquablue · #**3049** Posted **Sep 4, 2017, 3:47 PM**

Classic understatement

Progressive views show how much it has risen over the Financial Times building...

Wow - that vid was great. I love it when architects have to solve really complex programmatic issues like that.

It looks so good already.

Yes it is. Although I do have to admit, I like it in any light.

Okay...I hafta ask...is that actually White Plains in the distance center photo?

If the shot were more panned out, I think New Rochelle would be more to the right, near where the Throg's Neck/Whitestone bridges would be.

On topic, she looks halfway up, lest I be mistaken.

Yup, that's White Plains. There are about a half-dozen towers in development in downtown WP.

Has to be White Plains, just behind the Tracy Towers on Moshoula Pkwy in the Bronx.
