Unbuilt New York:

Are there any renderings of the Zhongshan Center?


„ This helicopter view of the model of Litho City shows how it will appear in the Manhattan panorama. Adjacent to Lincoln Center, this 36-acre complex will offer an entirely new concept of urban living, with town houses and tower apartments, parks and plazas, schools and shops, and a marina. Cultural heart of the complex is the United World Center. Sponsor: Amalgamated Lithographers, Local 1, New York. Model Study by Kelly & Gruzen, Architects - Planners.“

Unbuilt?

Or a new supertall?

How is that either of those, considering it’s a 4 year old article.

@Mackensen, I don’t believe so, only a stacking diagram, that project wouldn’t even have been able to be built to 1/15th its size in its location.

The Civic Center in NY with its 150 floors was only a concept, the technical maximum height of a skyscraper around 1930 was over 2200 meters.

Would this still be possible to build today?

Wish this would have been built but the loss of some of those buildings in its footprint would have been tragic.

I agree with that, but they’ve also demolished equally as beautiful buildings for things not as pretty like the Brooklyn Bridge access ramp/road next door on Park Row.

@007, no, there are 4 large landmarked structures within half of the proposed footprint and park it was to create.

But it would be a nice rendering.

I have it in my model. I could do an animation of it in the near future.
