Happy Cozy Wintertime y’all . .
. . As I’ve said many times before . .
the Brooklyn Tower is solidly in the Best Building category . .
Great vertical ribs, great color, perfectly placed setbacks
all the way up . . spectacular height, the whole bit . .
But a number of folks were singing praises of a great crown . .
“Resembling a king’s crown”, crown “complimenting the verticality”
. . My own eye gets annoyed when I hit the defining piece
of the building . . I barely see pathetic niblets rising above the parapet
. . mere timid stumps unworthy of this slender monumental spire . .
instead of proportionally significant skyline defining forms . .
At the top of the building, the vertical ribs should transform into fierce
spikes rising up into the sky . . Give us at least 30 ft of crown to see
from the street . .
CPT and tower 3 pulled the same stunt . .
Oh well, Still Love the Brooklyn Tower, a lot . .
