One of the designs that didn't make it...
http://observer.com/2012/05/check-ou...roadway-tower/ Check Out a Bonkers Proposal for Gary Barnett’s 1,250-Foot Broadway Tower http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...4-51.jpg?w=337 By Matt Chaban May 31, 2012 Quote:

Reminds me of this:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3528/...fd2d246e_o.jpg Which was Coop Himmelblau http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showth...?t=7832&page=5 Or Iwamoto Scott, who design 'Skyvoid' http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=181550 |
My #3 guess would actually be Vinoly, as the above tower looks similar to 432 Park... detached skeleton & the structure is 'separated' into different node-ish type things.
|
Reminds me a lot of this too...

That's bonkers. With a rejected proposal coming out already the planning phase must be much further along already than Barnett first talked about when he said nothing was decided on yet.

I have very high hopes that something excellent will be built here and I would have been pleasantly surprised had that design been used. :yes:
|
Also possibly notable is the above tower actually has a spire, although it's quite narrow. It looks like with the spire it would be ~1,400' tall.

Onn, Herzog de Meuron has already been announced as the architect.
The model also includes a rough massing of 220 CPS. http://nyoobserver.files.wordpress.c...4-17.jpg?w=337 |

Scaling from 888 7th ave, which is 191m tall, the model seems to be about 430-440m tall.

I can't stand that little spire on the side though, I hope that's not a cheap measure in beating 432 pk ave. |

We have no idea what the current form will be like besdides the fact that it too will be very tall, possibly even the new tallest in the US by roof height. :banana: |
New photo of possible Extell tower inserted into photo of One57's showroom model. From ny.curbed.com. :)

LOL, another rough edit from observer.com....the skyline will never be the same...

This one is almost too wacky for me, but I think the other 57th St supertalls will balance it out. New York hasn't built a truly crazy, eye-catching skyscraper in quite some time.
The fury of this street's skyscraper boom is quite beautiful. |

It occured to me that this design reminds me of another tower also, the David Childs/Libeskind Freedom Tower, right down to the twist and spire... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/143684999/large.jpghttp://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/143684996/large.jpg |

I like this design though, hopefully the final will be just as good. |
