This will certainly look unlike anything else in the financial district. I think that the stone looks fantastic.
I love the hideously rusted light standards the artist included in his second render. Now that is attention to detail and realism!
LOL
This may be the longest debate and discussion EVER after the placement of just one piece of cladding.
Here's a couple of pics of the recladding of the Verizon Building in NYC (1095 Avenue of the Americas) circa 2007 with a similar colour of green glass. Hopefully Trump's green glass won't reach the top of the tower.
Do you know why the Verizon building is this way?
So is that a giant granite panel - like a precast panel, but of cut stone?
Is there any (design/engineering/aesthetic) reason why the cladding started at the second floor and not from the ground up?
