Next to MoMA, a Tower Will Reach for the Stars

MoMA would do well to take a cue from Ruskin, who wrote that great art, whether expressed in “words, colors or stones, does not say the same thing over and over again.”

Here’s a pretty good review on a brand new building Tschumi designed in Manhattan.

Green Skyscrapers

TALLEST SKYSCRAPER IN SAN FRANCISCO WILL BE GREEN?

Skidmore Owings Merrill’s proposed new tower for San Francisco. Think the words ‘Green Skyscraper’ are an oxymoron? Whatever your feeling on energy-guzzling giant steel monoliths…. ‘green’ super-towers seem to becoming quite the rage. Now the city of San Francisco is jumping on the green skyscraper train with brand new plans to build the west coast’s tallest skyscraper ever as part of the new Transbay Terminal development. (Via Inhabitat.)

My comments on it: Dang, that is one ugly building. Leave it to SOM I guess. Hey, maybe it will look better in real life. We can only hope.
