NEW YORK | 69 Adams Street | 280 FT | 26 FLOORS

curved windows like that don’t appear to be in either of the rendered designs. It appears like the final design will be closer to the original renderings.

Brick is going up - and it looks surprisingly nice (bad pic through the safety net)

Huh. What a weird building. It definitely looks designed by a committee and might not age well.

But I agree that it could have been worse, based on the renderings. I don’t hate it.

Generic Architecture; good, but not close to being better/best in terms of aesthetics. Creating capital A Architecture is an art form that is deceptively difficult to master.

The term that works here for me is “Artless” architecture. :pensive:

Strikes me as a hodge podge of somewhat generic and increasingly out of date architectural styles. I think it may even rate the monikers of ugly or massive hulk. Obviously I don’t think much of it. Maybe if it really was designed to look like two or three different buildings with somewhat contrasting styles I’d like it. This designs joins the different facades in an irrational way.
