Gehry (Finally) Comes To NY

Frank Gehry’s glittering new office building on the Hudson River in Manhattan is the superstar architect’s first New York edifice, and the first in what will shortly be an impressive lineup of new buildings by high-profile architects in the same location. The Gehry tower “rises up from the old brick and rusting iron that is the meat-packing district of Chelsea like a shimmering white yacht, its sails puffed out in a gentle breeze. Viewed from the north, it really does appear to move, sailing southwards alongside the Hudson.”
