I think a lot of it has to do with how these towers meet the street. I don't mind curves, there are a couple in Battery Park City that stand out. Something curved or angular
wouldn't hurt, but I don't think its necessary at all to get a good design. I think that SHoP is getting so much work around town, especially on the waterfront including
South Street Seaport and the planned shopping center at the Staten Island Wheel, because they have a feel for it. They have a signature style that I think mixes classic
New York with something new. I can't wait until we get into the review process.
