The most awesome aspect of that Gehry building in New York is the fact that it still looks like a render to me.

Here's a great example of contemporary architecture in NYC. The color of the glass, the level of tint and reflection that it has and the setbacks are so elegantly composed.

is that window washing equipment part of the building in question? if so, that looks ridiculous.

given the fact that the title of this thread is '...designs to inspire Vancouver" I have to say that I'm not inspired for the most part and I'm pushing to have the thread changed:

" WTF are they thinking? Designs intended to Horrify Vancouver"
