Viewing the latest proposal of architecture designed by BIG, always highly publicized, we propose the immediate recovery of the architects Michael Graves, one of the greatest exponents of the postmodern style, since it seems that his Disney building, built several decades ago, is the model. Yes, we know that someone will say it is not the same, but we do not believe the proposal deserves a debate so deep, we are sure that neither BIG does want to propose this debate.
"Durst Fetner Residential selects BIG to design a 600-unit residential building. The project entitled West 57th introduces an entirely new residential typology (¿?) to New York City that will add an inviting twist to the Manhattan Skyline. The building is a hybrid between the European perimeter block and a traditional Manhattan high-rise (¿?). West 57th has a unique shape which combines the advantages of both: the compactness and efficiency of a courtyard building providing density, a sense of inti¬macy and security, with the airiness and the expansive views of a skyscraper."
