I hope the crown is lit at night. Anyone know if there are such plans?

Does anyone else think this design is ugly? It’s a single extruded shape that’s WAY too tall and wide to be so plain…
I love it.
That’s interesting— what about it is appealing, would you say?
The curved facade is pretty good but from other angles it is just another glass box. I have mixed reactions to it.
I think that the concave facade looks great. Most LIC buildings are pretty lame. Durst could have built a lame box (like the PoS he built on 6th Ave a few years ago), but he constructed a unique tower.
Agreed.
I hate it.
Do we foresee a problem with the glass concave facade acting like a giant magnifying glass melting objects like the building in London? Was that problem in London solved?
Love it
He put that curve in to wrap around the clock tower building that got landmarked.
From 8.1.20:
Driving down northern boulevard, it’s very impressive/ dominant.
