Thought-provoking article from Justin Davidson at NY Mag on the new residential supertalls. I expect it'll go over like a fart in church here at SSP, but I'm inclined to agree to an extent. These aren't temples of commerce like the Woolworth, Chrysler or Empire State Building. They're subdivisions in the sky with so-so architecture at huge scale. It's cool that the skyline has a few more peaks, but I hope it doesn't get out of hand.
