NYC Highrise Boom
There's a good article in the newest issue of National Geographic Mag about NYC's high-rises coming soon.
....Makes HDR's planned 16-story international HQ seem pretty piddly. But we'll take it.

What's going on in New York boggles the mind and the Hudson Yards, like woah.

Wow, that is incredible. I knew there was a building boom, but that graphic shows how much the skyline is going to be impacted in the next 5-10 years.

The new design for 2 WTC is disappointing... the old design was better

Re: NYC Highrise Boom
Actually, I like it.
Re: NYC Highrise Boom
I like it too. It's much more innovative than the old one.
Re: NYC Highrise Boom
I like it as well. I was actually not a huge fan of the original one, and I don't really care for the first tower rebuilt, although I understand the design was a twist on the original one.
Here are some of the proposals first put forward. My favorite is the giant pound sign lol.

When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other that not only does God exist, you're doing his will.

Proposed skyscraper near Central Park, 102 stories tall. I can't tell if I hate it or love it.

Re: NYC Highrise Boom
I'll be the first to support a developer's right to build whatever they darn well please on their property; that said, that is a ghastly abomination.
Re: NYC Highrise Boom
That is a visionary tower, it has zero chance of actually getting built.
Re: NYC Highrise Boom
NYC will be better off it it remains digital. Just think of all the pieces that will eventually fall off, including chunks of ice, not to mention the cult following it will generate. Reminds me of the tower in Ghostbusters and the third replication of the Vuldronii.

Re: NYC Highrise Boom
It is a bit odd but New York needs some new unique buildings. Not just another Park Avenue.MadMartin8 wrote:I'm all for originality...but that's a bit out there.
