Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has released new design details and a teaser site for its first New York condominium and hotel project at 76 Eleventh Avenue near the High Line in West Chelsea. Known as “The Eleventh,” or as it’s being written now, The XI, the project is comprised of a pair of twisting asymmetrical bronze and travertine towers joined by a skybridge. The windowed facade is said to be inspired by the Meatpacking District’s iconic warehouses. — 6sqft

SHoPs leaning American Copper buildings are 10x better. BIG is making the view from New Jersey look like a kitschy theme park
sort of like a slightly more twisted take on Philip Johnson's Puerta de Europa towers...

This is fun!
It's not within the historic designation boundary, so is appropriate to associate with the meatpacking district, or is this a "culture grab" to increase value.
Pritzker prize winner for sure (lol)
Another high rise that will choke the life out of the High Line.
Pretty soon it will be just a shadow at the bottom of a canyon of money.
