The top of the crown is looking so beautiful, especially now with that brighter tone at the pinnacle.

This tower always seems to get better. The skyscraper gods need to spread some of that around.

They'll probably work closer at some point. Also, no one wants to be shut down.

Yes. The NIMBYs who want that one cut down should be forced to go up and view it from here.

(yes)

NYguy, do you have a drawing showing the layout of the floor 2 levels below the beginning of the crown, with the four window/louver slots facing North? I am curious where the residential levels end and where mechanical begins.

The group talked about the “responsibility of the skyline,” as Stern called it, in building and designing in New York. Pasquarelli and Stern have worked on one project that’s altered the Manhattan skyline: 111 West 57th Street, a luxury residential supertall atop the landmarked Steinway Hall. On designing the structure, Pasquarelli observed, “Several dozen extraordinarily wealthy people are going to live inside this building … but 8 million of us have to live with this building every single day.”

The duo noted that while they love working with their other partners, they both find something “special” about working together.

“I don’t know what other architect could have given us the integrity of design with all the obstacles on that site,” Stern said of another project, 9 Dekalb Avenue. That building, when finished, will be the tallest in Brooklyn.

When asked if he anticipated that designing real estate would be different following the pandemic, Stern said he has “utmost confidence in people’s inability to remember anything very long.”

“If anyone thinks they’re gonna write New York off, or thinks that the trend towards urbanization and density around transit is just gonna stop and reverse, they’re wrong,” he added.
