foster can do it better
June 27th, 2007 at 10:09 pmspeaking of perforated metal scrims, i hear that ny firm marble fairbanks is doing something similar to this with a crazy cool perforation pattern at a project under construction up at columbia university. seems like the thing to do these days!
June 27th, 2007 at 10:26 pmThe spaces are too rigid disregarding the entrance.
June 28th, 2007 at 8:50 amWant to do something like Jean Nouvel`s 100 11th Av.?
June 28th, 2007 at 1:27 pmHave to try again !!!
I find a bit disappointing looking at the apartments, it looks like all the “avant-guarde” power got concentrated on the ground floor…
June 30th, 2007 at 10:01 pmNot impressive at all…
June 30th, 2007 at 11:32 pmi think its refreshing in its restraint, nice to see a cool entry into the starachitect condo game in new york these days.
July 3rd, 2007 at 10:05 pmImpressive, how about other other views fro mdifferent angles
