That woman who thought they were falling over must be pretty stupid
Probably one of the “I need to speak to your manager” types

Stupid? I doubt it. That’s a bit strong to say the least. Probably just “shocked” would be more apt. And that’s actually a correct reaction. It’s not about beauty but engineering power. Not the best compliment for a building!

I agree with chused. Under construction, a lot of the intentionality in the design is lost, and the potential sense of danger increased.

Any reasonably intelligent person would realize a couple things:
-
If a building were falling over, it would be making an incredible amount of noise and commotion. Not just silently standing there
-
Construction crews would be running away from the site, not continuing about their work
-
Other people on the highline and the surrounding area would also be reacting. She can’t honestly believe she was the only one who noticed a 400 foot building falling over?
Maybe you’re right, maybe not stupid, but to call 911 with everything stated above, and to tie up some of the cities’ valuable emergency resources, I at least question her judgment lol

Perhaps. Part of my reaction also was to the use of strong language like “stupid.” I really don’t think that’s appropriate on a public forum. We can state opinionated views without edging toward the demeaning side. Thanks.

i don’t have a problem with the overall shape of this, but I’m most concerned about the window color choice. The black is just not working for me. Perhaps when it’s done and a lighter color cladding is installed between the windows, I will like it a little more.

My one complaint about this building is that it turns its back on the HL; I think it’s most unflattering angle will be the one from which it’s most viewed.

Does anyone have floor plans of the lower levels of the building? I am an architecture student doing a research project for my class. Floor plans would help a lot as well as elevator and stair locations as my research mainly deals with vertical circulation.

Entire lobby plans are rare. I found these a bunch of unit floor plans you could use to deduce where the core is

Yeah those were about the only thing I could find thank you for your help though!

I really hope that isn’t the final cladding
