This tower ABUSES the skyline....
Takes in all the views of graceful towers, but gives nothing in return. The only thing it gives is that at certain angles its obstructs far superior towers. A design that could've been conjured up by at 3 year old gets to redefine, obstruct and besmirch the NYC skyline. Designed by accountants, just the bare minimum to minimize construction cost and maximize views. A 1,500 foot structure that symbolizes the vagaries of developers with no formal regards to aesthetics. |
There are those for whom no explanation is needed, and those for whom none will suffice.
I respect those who take both sides of this axiom. But re this example I would invite you to at least look at tower in isolation and perhaps you might appreciate better the subtle complexities it stands prepared to offer us. But I quite fail so see what other major tower it blocks from any angle you'd care to mention. And at least isn't *blue* glass. Take with as any grains of salt you this: As more of the blue gunk gets peeled off and the parapet area shapes out, I predict that positive reviews of this stunner will go through the roof. ...Especially the cantilever, which is almost intimidating in its size. I suppose one would have to be there to see that. |

You want an irrefutable appreciation, well, it is symbolic; a symbolism of design by accountants, not architects (420 Park Ave too). |

The way the crane was positioned this morning was teasing what this building would look like if they kept the spire...

In case the spire comes back ,it will be so huge cause this is what this tower miss right now .
|
I asked this before & i don't know if it was answered but can this building get an antenna/transmitter in the near future? Possibly up to the FAA limit?

On a side note, while the FAA cap I believe is at 2000 ft, it could always be requested to go higher, just again, the FAA would have to review the proposal and deem in not a danger to flight patterns. |
They add a spire that give a height towarde 1800ft in my opinion or above at 1820ft
|
That would be a good height range too. A spire 1/3 of its height or about 500 ft would look out of place. 200-250 ft would be the sweet spot. IMO, enough to preserve aesthetics without being out of place like 4 Times Square (Conde Naste) for example.
|
I hope that barnett will push this building above 1800ft with add a spire at the end .
|
1820' would make it the tallest free-standing structure in the western hemisphere, taking the crown from the CN Tower at 1815' (although that one still has the highest occupied floor/observatory at 1465')...
