Cool pictures NYguy, did you take them?
Do you have some of the Central Park looking facade? I think a downside of this building is that the less interesting, and most conventional facade will be the one with more visibility, facing directly at Central Park. I understand that facade is made that way to maximize the views from the interior toward the park, but I don't find it much appealing, at least not so far. In the renders it looks like that facade is curved, which looks atractive, but in the model looks flat, at least in the pictures of Wired New York. I was thinking that maybe it could look better if they made this facade slighty curved in the vertical plane also, by varying the size of the cantilevers on each floors. Also I see there are some drawings. I can see a facade and a section, are there some floor plans? Thanks for the pictures. |
I found my soulmate tower. ;)
Let's just hope she starts construction soon. :) I agree with easy as pie let's just hope architects can follow this great example of a building. :) |

Yes, I took the photos earlier. There were some sketches and other info there, but I mainly went to see the models. I'll be going back, and I'm sure others will get photos as well, it will be on display until April. As far as the façade goes, the Central Park facing façade is pretty much straightforward, but for obvious reasons. I didn't notice any curve in the façade, but I wasn't really looking for it. I think this tower will be on the level of Tower Verre, in the sense that it's something New York should have built decades ago, in the class of the Chrysler and ESB. It's almost a perfect NY tower, like the Tower Verre. It's also a very thin tower, as you can see in the background of this 432 Park model... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152796630/original.jpg http://www.citylandnyc.org/proposed-...ll/#more-20423 Proposed Residential Tower Would Encroach on Site of Steinway Hall 10/07/2013 Quote:
Most were highly in favor of this new tower, which eventually will be a landmark in its own right. Quote:

At first I thought it would come out terrible, but it's so beautiful. Just look at those terracotta stripes.......... |

Wow this one's moving fast! Great stuff, the design is insane!

I'm probably more excited for this than any other project in New York right now. At least until Tower Verre starts rising...

Even in its earlier incarnation, the tower was situated where the views over the park would be pretty much unobstructed, with lower highrises around.
http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847227/original.jpg Here you see its close proximity to the Tower Verre site, and the sea of boxes both towers would rise around... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847228/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847229/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/152847230/original.jpg |

I was walking by the project and noticed this sign - http://www.flickr.com/photos/emilio_guerra/9227288661/
it reads "work on this project is scheduled to be completed by December 2014" how is this possible. Any thoughts? |
