Most ideas usually end up in the trash but few ideas are inspired by the basket that holds them. A recent discovery has revealed that...432 Park Avenue, was actually inspired by a Josef Hoffmann-designed wastebasket released in 1905. The revelation came via a talk held last December at the Cornell Center for Real Estate and Finance where Harry Macklowe, the co-developer of the supertall, told the crowd that the repository was an “important touchstone” for the 1,396-foot-high design. — 6sqft

How fitting... This is the one with the poor door as well, no?
What do a trash can and a luxury condo have in common? They are both filled with garbage.
Was just in NYC...That building is just plain ugly.
Seems like a nice trashcan to me..... What's the problem.
I don't get he poor door issue.... It's a sideshow from making real affordable housing.
