Frank Gehry wrinkles his skyscraper.
After Canada, Spain, and the USA, the architect inaugurates yet another monumental construction, his first in New York.
247 - After the Dancing House in Canada, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain, and the sophisticated Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Canadian architect Frank Gehry ventured into New York and erected his newest skyscraper there: an apartment building with a facade full of effects that create an apparent undulation on its surface. According to experts on Gehry's work, the high-tech building architect and his team were inspired by Renaissance designs to create this "wrinkled" structure.
The skyscraper is located in Lower Manhattan and has had a strong impact on the real estate market in the region. It has 446 units and, although luxurious, is priced affordably for the New York middle class. And this is not the architect's only work in New York. He also designed an exotic pineapple-shaped theater, which will be located in a brand-new, luxurious hotel complex in northern Manhattan called Yotol.
