I actually like it alot! http://www.guggenheim.org/exhibitions/past_exhibitions/gehry/images/projects/projects_images/ny_times13_lg.jpg mac71 December 31st, 2005, 02:02 PM :eek: Is it going to be built? I hope so. samsonyuen December 31st, 2005, 04:21 PM Wow, it looks great! TowersNYC December 31st, 2005, 04:41 PM ^ that tower is the entry design by Frank Ghery..for the New New York Times Tower....it was rejected...the actual tower under construction right now..can be seen in the construction threads forum...take a look..http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=205662 actual rendering... http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/2404nytimestower.jpg TalB December 31st, 2005, 06:15 PM The model that was shown to start this thread was cancelled, but that same design could be used for a project that is by Pace University. I-275westcoastfl December 31st, 2005, 08:45 PM I like the current design better. mr_storms December 31st, 2005, 10:14 PM agreed, the other one is too radical for my tastes Bertez January 1st, 2006, 12:30 AM I like the design of the lower levels......but......I think Frank went a bit to far with the curves RafflesCity January 1st, 2006, 05:53 PM the first pic looks somewhat like a skyscraper in Shanghai :yes: TalB January 3rd, 2006, 04:49 AM To me, it looks like someone held a magnifine glass at this building and is trying to melt it. krull January 3rd, 2006, 05:51 AM I did like the Frank Ghery tower... Oh well... I still like the new version anyway. Alboboy11 January 3rd, 2006, 07:12 AM o yes, i passed by it and didnt even kno that THAT was being built lol...the setting is excellent for this building also... frank gehry is an amazing architect...his buildings are a lil out there, butthats what i like bout him Giorgio January 3rd, 2006, 07:22 AM I LOVE THE NEW DESIGN. Instanly in my top 10 fav skyscrapers. -Corey- January 3rd, 2006, 08:06 AM looks nice but the first renderm was better. Manila-X January 3rd, 2006, 11:01 AM The current design looks better and more organized! I hate those wierd looking skyscrapers like that first rendering or those planned for the WTC redevelopement! mac71 January 3rd, 2006, 11:32 AM I like the design of the lower levels......but......I think Frank went a bit to far with the curves :ohno: I think it has quite modest design in proportion to other Gehry's works. The Mad Hatter!! January 4th, 2006, 02:18 AM unlike someone before my post said,i love wierd designs without them so of the most beautiful,innovative and style creating buildings wouldn't of gotten built i.e turning torso,cctv,chrysler.. the thing i like about gehry's design was the top iwas new and had an intresting facade,the base needed some work but overall a beatuy of a design.. i hate the new renzo paino design because it ordinary the facade is kinda boring,the top is blah,and the spire is WAY TO BIG. CrazyCanuck January 4th, 2006, 10:00 AM To me, it looks like someone held a magnifine glass at this building and is trying to melt it. I agree, it looks to sloppy and disfigured. I like the chosen design except for that stupid spire. TalB January 5th, 2006, 12:49 AM This is the site where this tower will be built, and it's on a this lot by Pace University with its new name, The Beekman Tower. http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/33742994/medium.jpg http://www.pbase.com/image/23854474/large.jpg http://upload.pbase.com/image/23875580/large.jpg PotatoGuy January 7th, 2006, 12:36 AM some ppl really dont like the design, but i do hkia January 8th, 2006, 07:56 AM I haven't seen anything by Gehry that I like. |
