To each his own. However, every city in the world would love to have this sculpted masterpiece grace its landscape.

It would fit in anywhere in North America, South America, Asia or Europe (other than some Italian and French cities which are purely classic).

Unfortunately, it seems that Toll Bros. will not use this design.

It's a shame the old architecture seemed to be so good.

I bet that this building will be a box with the blue glass.

Unfortunately, many nice, old towers are razed, but these buildings were nothing special.

No no, I referred to the design of this same project created by Portzamparc.

I really don't find that design to be very nice. If it's true that it's not gonna be built, whilst I would have been interested to see such a strange building go up in Manhattan, I'll be fairly glad.
