I love big new development - steel - concrete . .
But let's tell it like it is aficionados ! . .
patriotizzy - yes "disappointing" . . but - "all its curves" ? ? . .
Hardly . . They're cheap very meager curves . . a wishy-washy minuscule effort . .
the big Elizabeth Diller bombastic "Corset" rollout . . Gone !
It wasn't my favorite lavish proposal . . but it was complex . . it was ambitious.
15 HY design now has wimped out . . It's a vision of fainthearted timidity . . .

Same for most of the other washed out HY proposals . .
also the marshmallowy glass box placeholder designs of the Manhattan West towers . .
But for the solid KPF vision of the 10 & 30 HY towers complex at the center . .
HY's halfhearted overall aesthetic is monstrously irresolute mediocre expediency . .
millions & millions of square feet of it.
I can't wait to see this bodacious centerpiece they're talkin' about . .
promised to be more amazing than Paris's Eiffel Tower ! . .
Imagine it ! . . seriously . . But who cares ! - Right ? . .
