The use of Calatrava and Gehry really makes that proposal dated. Stern is only just hitting his stride right now. Along with his firm, I’d like to see a proposal with more NYC designers like Adjmi, Pennoyer, Tamarkin, Roman & Williams, Shop, and Cook Fox.
I have massing in for now. Same with the empire station area. I might create materials for them but I feel like by the time I do, actual design rendering will surface. might wait till that happens.
