Love the fun geometric gesture here . .
As a fine traditional architectural form, the vertical concave curve
goes a long way to save, this otherwise ordinary version of Queens
Plaza Park tower . . Since this is the version actually getting built,
it's absolutely necessary that a distinguishing feature is happening
to uplift the humiliated, cut-down-to-size tower . .
Of course we'd all prefer the earlier 915-foot tall design
soaring 70 stories . . burgeoning up to crown the Queens' skyline
with glory . . And not just we human skyscraper-lovers . .
The once monumental, centuries-ago tallest, cute little vintage edifice,
out in front of this construction site, was hoping to absorb some of
that reflected 900 ft. greatness . . to restore its own lost self esteem . .
It really needed more of a hero to be its pal . .
So at least now the wee landmark, though overshadowed by a
751 ft. cheap heap, has a cool curve to vaingloriously posture in front of . .
pretending the curve is that of the scooped out canadian foster tower,
makes an even better party . .
