The Big Bend can become a modest architectural solution to the height limitations of Manhattan. If we manage to bend our structure instead of bending the zoning rules of New York we would be able to create one of the most prestigious buildings in Manhattan. But what if we substituted height with length? What if our buildings were long instead of tall?
New York city’s zoning laws have created a peculiar set of tricks trough which developers try to maximize their property’s height in order to infuse it with the prestige of a high rise structure.
It seems that a property’s height operates as a license for it to be expensive. We usually learn about the latest tallest building and we are always impressed by it’s price per square foot. We have become familiar with building height measurements. There are many different ways that can make a building stand out, but in order to do so the building has to literary stand out. It is undeniable because it is made to be seen.
There is an undeniable obsession that resides in Manhattan.
