I think my favorite part of the entire bldg, and this isn't saying much for the architecture unintentionally, is the Anish Kapoor sculpture on the ground floor. Now THAT is a transition, haha! I love it!

56 Leonard St....
Herzog & de Meuron's latest skyscraper on Leanord in NYC. Not sure what I think yet. Some of the images are beautiful, but I think the building starting to deconstruct itself 3/4 of the way up doesn't sit right with me. There is something too simple about the transition that I can't put my finger on. None the less, it is still beautiful, I am still in awe of any architect that can push the limits. Very Moshe Safdie - Habitat 67, no?
