The Society of American Registered Architects New York Council recently awarded its top 2017 Project of the Year accolade to the 520 West 28th Street residential complex designed by Zaha Hadid Architects in collaboration with Ismael Leyva Architects. Adjacent to The High Line in the heart of West Chelsea, the sculptural 11-story development features 21 interlaced floors and 39 distinctive residential units up to 6,391 square feet and ceiling heights up to almost 11 feet high. The project is due for completion later this year.

The US needs a Carbuncle Cup.
The 1950's called and they want their movie set back.
ZHA is sometimes hit or miss but this one looks beautiful.
I see those white interiors and that shiny stainless steel cladding, and think, New York Soot.
In a typical design development meeting there will be the developers, architect(s), city agency reps, construction management firm, building maintenance firm, etc. I'm amazed that the maintenance people let this pass.
Just charge more, I guess. The kinds of people buying these things can well afford to have their turds polished twice a day.
servants, the dreamers of self-cleaning materials realized buying people was cheaper.

It's a thing. People on the High Line stop in their tracks to look at it. I haven't seen a building do that in a while.
Clearly a combination of OMG and WTF.
this would also stop me in my tracks, https://goo.gl/images/qBh62R
Exactly.
I hope that's temporary:
