I said "boring" which in my part of the world just means it isn't to be read as boring per say.

New York has one of the best skylines for sure... and most consistent.
But it is pretty much just boxes or extruded ortogonal plans. I was hoping for the Freedom Tower and that area to change that with the current movements in architecture. But New York seems to be a little conservative when it comes to the skyline.

London, Dubai(in a few years when there is a better consistency), Shanghai(well a number of chinese cities spring to mind) even Moscow or doing things that makes New York fall behind of the actual design of the skyline.

Goldman Sachs is out of a different tradition than the one I appreciate... maybe that's why. And it sits well in New York... but would be considered a waste of money in many other places.


But do not misunderstand me New York's skyline isn't boring.
