Frank Gehry in NYC

sloan_thumb USA_flag Posted by Kristin Sloan

Today is a big day of conferences for me.

I’m on my way to a lecture by Ric Scofidio and Liz Diller of >Diller Scofidio + Renfro about the design of the High Line project, at the new IAC building by Frank Gehry on the West Side Highway.

I pass this building on my way to Lincoln Center, and at first (while it was being built) I wasn’t so sure about it. But now that it’s done, it’s pretty amazing… Quite a bit distracting when you are trying to navigate West Side Highway traffic.

Here’s a shot of it at night. It looks incredible, and they always have ALL the lights on. I sure hope they are fluorescents.
