New York Skyscraper Resembles Jenga Puzzle

Herzog de Meuron New York City Skyscraper


The awkward looking skyscraper above is a new 56-story apartment complex being built in New York City. The tower called 56 Leonard is going up in Tribeca and was designed by Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. The cost of residences goes from $3.5 million to over $15 million according to the website for the tower. Dezeen has more photographs of the structure and as you can see in one the images the structure also includes a silver Terminator-like blob sculpture designed by Anish Kapoor at its base. At least the interior looks good but we agree with Dvice that on the outside it resembles the Jenga game and looks like it could come tumbling down.

You can read some more information about the unique skyscraper at Curbed, Skyscraper Page, Contemporist, World Architecture News, New York Magazine, Interior Design Room, Design Addict, Arch Daily and Stylelist.
