But an old friend, and a special commission, have gotten the architect to change his stripes. Mr. Meier has designed a black building.
At East 39th Street and First Avenue in Manhattan, developer Sheldon Solow will be unveiling a 42-story, 556-unit residential building. It will be Mr. Meier’s tallest in the city and his first since his trio of apartment towers on West Street were completed in 2004.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
To make this building more iconic, more versatile...That 2 story stripe needs to occur more often than once in the vertical plane and not in a static predictable manner, but increasing in frequency as it ascends. It should alternate asymmetrically random from both sides.... & His Building should be 5 Times that tall. Maybe Literally, however Certainly Metaphoric.
Of the newer towers going up, I think it is one of the more attractive ones.
(Also, disagree with every statement made is Kristofer's post; well done, sir.)
does this mean the new uniform in his studio is white pants/ black shirt?
Black pocket square with white suit.
