Frank Gehry, or the making of an Instant Landmark







We stopped by today at Beekman Tower, the 76-story rental designed by Frank Gehry across the street from City Hall, and decided to take some photographs.

It is an imposing structure indeed. And with those steels panels flowing and gleaming under the sun, we felt really impressed. This is a spectacular addition to that skyline that made New York famous all over, designed by one the best Architects in the world.

There will be also a school at its base with 800 students, so the changes in the neighbourhood are without questions happening (a much needed upgrade!). You can take a look at amazing renderings of the finished project here.

Rebuilding Downtown, one masterpiece at the time.
