has published 18 different renderings of Ateliers Jean Nouvel's proposed 75-story gallery/hotel/condo tower that go way above and beyond the little NY Times tease unleashed on the world yesterday. Also, Dezeen points out that developer Hines has already set up a 53 West 53rd Street website... via Curbed

dwarfs the gem of a building next to it
ya...it does draw your attention to how relatively small the Museum of Folk Art is, but the bottom register (base) of the Nouvel tower responds directly to the height of the Museum, which i appreciate.
the profile calls to mind another of its neighbors - Raimund Abraham's Austrian Cultural Forum.
i haven't fully appreciated nouvel before, but i think this is a very exciting project!
if this one gets built and ends up looking -plastically- like in these renderings, my bet for the 2010 or -11 Pritzker Prize is definitely (or again) Nouvel...
much more interesting than what's going on at the WTC site
