The latest crap that architecture nerds think is cool

From Curbed:

Only one rendering—and few details—has been revealed for the ODA-designed apartment building that's rising next to 5 Pointz (RIP), but the eagle eyes over at New York YIMBY spotted another one on the architect's website.

Wow. I hope the cab will be permanently parked on the sidewalk. Provides a nice touch of authentic LIC.

That's where a proposed taxi stand will be.

See those bollards to protect the fire hydrant? Line the sidewalk with them.

Someone clearly spent too much of their time playing with their Lego set as a child.

Local money folks balked at the asking price for that commercial bakery. It wasn't on the market long at all.

Because of the rezoning of that whole area, any parcel that could be developed will become a goldmine.

legos would give the building structural integrity.

this looks like it was inspired by tetris,red bull and cocaine.

That building will be a nightmare to maintain. Nooks and crannies are great for dirt and streaking.

In 20 years it will look like the parking garage they replaced.
