F for fugly
B for British and overdoing it.
U is for U and Me!
‘A’ for artistry. Any building that rises above the generic, value engineered, expediently constructed box gets a well deserved capital ‘A’ every time.
Agreed. Those replies made me laugh.
It’s a great riff on the downtown industrial aesthetic mastered by Adjmi and Tamarkin.
Love it.
This will get better when the protective stuff on the windows comes off. It will perk up enormously.
I hope so, i just walked by it last night and the film on it makes it look like its an old warehouse thats coming down instead of going up.
you peoples are so serious
If the architecture profession has the fashion equivalent of ‘camp’ (as in the recent met gala fashion event) then I would describe this architectural aesthetic as CAMP. This is very interesting looking, bold, and totally out of the ordinary; delightful to behold. I is always great to see a building design that rises above the run-of-the-mill norm and does something special like this building.
There is one thing that always bothered me about that facade design: each of those protruding bay windows look to me like elevator cabs - looking up I sort of expect one of them to start slowly decending down toward the lobby. The sort of elevators that are use in those massive hotel atriums; it is reminiscent of those type elevator cabs. However, that just me and a few others who may make the same wacky association. LOL
that’s exactly what they look like (once you see it, can’t unsee it)
pity they are not elevators…would have been that building’s saving grace
Not bad I like the shape so far at least.
