is the address of a new 56-storey residential tower in Tribeca, New York City, designed by the top swiss architects Herzog & De Meuron. the tower will house 145 high-end apartments, each with its own unique floor plan and outdoor space, piled one above the other randomly. 'houses stacked in the sky' as the architects describe. they propose a new alternative to the iconic American skyscraper designing a pixelated vertical layers of customized spaces, the video shows this concept perfectly. i'm also sure that the apartments will be amazing however i think the building is a bit too noisy. the 3D development of Manhattan creates pixelated surfaces even if the single 'components' have simple geometry or rational design. that's its strength. the building would probably work better in another context, flat and sober. the video is great though! source ArchDaily
p.s. and the crisis?
