Was digging around for other things when I stumbled upon a trove of renderings... thus, my new article!

In terms of criticism, the project put forth looks appropriate in scale, although the design is quite bland. Some have noticed many of the new projects along the East River look like they belong in Miami rather than New York (specifically East Coast Long Island City), and this project is no exception; the rendered facades are entirely glass, with little variation. The overall scope of 'Greenpoint Landing' makes the project look impressive for sheer size, but in terms of architecture, there is little that is appealing. 'Greenpoint Landing' may fail to create a vision that is particularly dazzling, but it certainly isn't a bad proposal--just slightly boring.
