OH, I see - fair point.
As a general observation on ‘historicist’ architecture as oposed to doing strictly contemporary architecture: my preference is for building designs that reflects our current technology, culture, and way of life.
This new building at 14 Fifth Avenue is a thing of beauty; a visual feast as historicist buildings ‘always’ a crowd pleaser.
It is unfortunate that contemporary architecture often fails to delight; where classical or traditional seems to never fails.
However, there are many cases where a new construction building designed in the contemporary style can still be a feast for the eye; and an architectural delight as well. One such work of ‘beautiful’ modern architecture was recently completed, and covered in the YIMBY forum; also located downtown, of similar size, and also a residential building.
I am thinking of this building; on 23rd street. A modern masterpiece IMHO.
