Kudos for posting such a useful blog. Your weblog isn’t only informative and also very artistic too. There normally are very few people who can write not so easy articles that creatively. Keep up the great writing !!

Great idea – all those rich scoundrels in one place and no airfield or landing field. Nice building but completly without soul.

@ Joshua

Yes! Thank you, I completely agree with you. I’m not sure where Terry and Paul are coming from. To say that Paul Rudolph is the inspiration for this?! Moshe Safdie had this design down before Paul Rudolph with his Habitat 67, which was actually built and designed before Paul Rudolph’s Graphic Art Center. Also, PR’s is totally prefab, each unit with the same floor plan; whereas in 56 Leonard each floor is increasingly differentiated from the floor below.

Needless to say, this building is beautiful and I love how the design concept of taking a “simple” box and layering them upon each other is pushed to the max. It totally fits in NYC — a city that is essentially a bunch of boxes stacked upon one another.

It’s by Anish Kapoor – same guy who did Cloud Gate (“the Bean”) in Chicago. Supposed to look like it’s getting squished…who knows why. =P

the users do not know the history of architecture.
they see something, they like it or not. it is liveable or not. the rest of the noise is luckily heard and made by architects.

This building will definitely be a great sight once it is finished. I can imagine any of those higher apartments being used as a set for a movie or a tv show. Beckons a thought or two.

So every building that is done now has to credit the person who had a similar idea? It’s all been done before to some extent. I didn’t know Rudolph was the first of his kind to do such work, and to imply that shows a lack of “knowledge of architectural history, theory, and reason”.
