Can the title be corrected. "sreet" does not equal street.
sreet is when someone is high but meant to say "sweet". NEW YORK | 249 East 62nd Street | 510 FT | 32 FLOORS |

This section of Town is going to look like Waterline Square on the other side of the island...but on most likely a wider scale.
If you want to call it thus, "height-geekiness" isn't exactly what's being marketed here. "Density-geekiness" is far better term. While, say, 700' can be fairly deemed "supertall" here, it's going to boil down to how much...and most especially, the quality of what gets built. Score another one for Sr. Viñoly here. Whereas he aimed for elegance and contextual setting with 277 5th, he expertly plays a "method to the madness" card here, and at a spot where it's going to get some serious attention, even as projects of similar height and designing merit sprout up nearby. This is architectural genius at its...well...funkiest. |
Sweet jesus, looks like a Forerunner construct from the Halo Universe.
NY could use a little more futuristic works. |
And again...at the high risk of waxing obnoxious, I feel compelled to reiterate a point I harped on in another thread.
While I understand that contextual accuracy isn't part of the overall marketing strategy in this particlar niche of the overall field of work, a hint of it should at least be attempted. It is what it is bla blah ga ga; but simply begging the question IMHO doesn't explain why, for instance, a skyscraper design for NYC gets superimposed over a pano of downtown Chicago which, by admission of reputable posters in this subforum, has been perpitrated. Apropos of this discussion, superimposing a render of this or any tower proposed for the UES over a pano of Lower Manhattan is misleading, pure and simple. I shall say no more of it. ::And there was much rejoicing...:::djparty: |
It's always interesting when seeing renderings depicting a tower in one city, but the background is like 500 miles away. Us city fanatics pick it up, but I bet some won't even notice it. They'd think Houston looks like Chicago or see a rendering of a Miami proposal, superimposed with a Houston background.
But yet again, I've run into people that didn't know where 1 WTC was or if it was built. Lots of clueless folks out there. |
From YIMBY NY today
We have a redesign: http://https://newyorkyimby.com/2018/02/vinolys-jetsons-esque-skyscraper-at-249-east-62nd-street-revealed-upper-east-side.html |

Well, it's unique
|
Dear Jesus that is dreadful.
|
There's something about it that...I like. Bertrand Goldberg-esque.
|
It's execrable. Vinoly is a vandal.
|
Should just make it an entirely extruded octagonal or cylindrical tower, what they have now is just an eyesore of epic levels.
