:titanic:....

Knowing the the thread topic, I'm obviously missing something somewhere; but what's the reference here?

I feel embarrassed asking about it.

"After the Storm"?

Don't you mean "After Picking Up My Mandible Off the Floor and Reattaching It To My :stunned: After Looking At That Picture For the First TIme?

I meant that. :yes: Yep....

EDIT: I still for the life of me cannot find the RCA Building in this photograph.

That's how massive this is.

I believe RCA is hidden behind the Citigroup Tower. :)

^^
Briefly on that tangent; is it reasonable to suggest that SCOTUS's decision to allow sports gambling at all levels could be used as a leveraging tool for funding future projects?

I would think that going forward, mayoral and gubernatorial candidates nationwide can use a certain percentage of the profits made from it to improve their municipalities rather than waiting for funding from other sources, entities, etc.

I kinda figured that too.

And I'm also trying to figure out what's trying to hide behind Bloomberg/731 Lex....not to hijack the thread.

Feel free to PM me if you know. TYVM.

I can't wait for it to come off so we can finally see what the facade looks like.

^ Really amazing that you can plainly see the cantilevered ob deck at 30 Hudson from the roof of the Met. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I am nonetheless.

It is truly like something out of a sci-fi movie

From a few of these angles, it looks like it may have cleared One57 and the 1,000 ft mark. I haven't been in the city in a few weeks to take a good look. Climbing fast now.

2 questions:

1. Where did you get that render from?

2. Is the glass on the parapet and upper floors transparent?

1. I edited the current 220 CPS design in the original render
2. Looks like it, will probably be held up by a steel structure

For me, what is precisely the joy I derive from watching this rise is starting to change from the sheer height of it---although that's still a big aspect---is the facade.

It now looks as if we have three distinct skins on this, including the quite ethereal crown, which to me looks like a symmetric, geometrized realization of the undulating base.

Ignore the head, and you can see it here...
