the thing thats eye catching to me and that i like about the spire is the high quality of it, but obviously not the bland design. you have to be up close or at least in range of it to notice though. its right up there in terms of quality materials with what i would consider the apex of this kind of impression, manhattan west.

oh, Quality Materials huh ? . . what materials ? . .
yeah, its got very nice glass . . and way too much of it . . in the same ol’ shit silvery color . . Manhattan West did “all glass” best, and got away with it, splendidly . . the 30 & 10 HY glass towers complex contributed to the skyline with pleasing dramatic angles . . this “high line meets the skyline” square-footage hog, has about the same aesthetic chops as the 60s downtown line-up of towers along Water St . . No stainless, no corten, no beautiful stone, no terra-cotta, no color, no crown . . nothin’ to accent, it’s bulky sophomoric massing . . Gimmicky, saw-toothy steps, traipse horizontally across the facade, to form kinda dumb-lookin’, vertically stacked shiny boxes . . Not graceful . . Spiral is tall, without any beautiful soaring skyscraper form (or sections) . . Ingles seems to fight having impressively soaring vertical lines or indents that would benefit the look of his tallest towers . . instead be goes for clunky horizontals lines . . 2 WTC has just the one impressive vertical at the SW corner . . from most angles, the rest of that building appears to be backed up with the horizontal rooflines of stepped banal boxes, massacring any upward sweep of an exciting skyscraper vibe . . Having to be smushed against the big lump of other HY behemoths, doesn’t help the look of Spiral either . . it hardly stands out . . About its defining design of a “hanging gardens” concept, well there’s barely noticeable twigs anywhere, and it is summer . . and check out the deadening way that harsh cold glass slams into concrete sidewalk Whoa! Quite the Inviting streetscape that this big boxy thing offers, eh ? . . Aren’t spirals suppose to be somewhat elliptically shaped or somethin’ . . Yeah Spiral took a ton of people, dough, labor, and consideration to get built . . all that is impressive . . but everything about the design vibe & presence of this big fat tower, seems half-baked . . I do like Ingles twisted Westside buildings somewhere around W.18th St . . After decades they’re still uncompleted . . What’s up with that ? . . |
