NYC Skyscraper’s Over-the-Top Gothic Design Looks Like It's Out of a Video Game

[DontSayBanana]

What a shame it's hideous.  It's still just a cube, so it's your typical Skyscraper as a phallic symbol, with the added bonus of every Gothic element he thought he could fit on a square wall greebled on as some kind of skyline-breaking condom.  Oh, and nobody issuing building permits with any hint of sanity should approve that sky deck- each apron is like a little spout, just waiting to pour suicide jumpers and the terminally stupid all over Manhattan.

That doesn't look like a very comfortable condom.

I didn't say it was a good condom.

In all seriousness, he complains there's too many cubes, so he makes another cube and sticks a ton of shit all over it.  Freedom Tower is more interesting visually than this vomit.

Woah, that thing is hideous. It's like a discarded set from a Michael Bay Transformers flick after some ADD-addled architect mixed up his meds.

I went to the architect's website, and this was his entry for the Helsinki Guggenheim museum design contest (which unsurprisingly he didn't win).

Holy crap, that thing is ridiculous.

Weren't they supposed to teach him that "less is more" at architectural school? I guess that lesson never took.

[Tonitrus]

That dude is definitely channeling Gozer.

What the hell is that????

The new HQs of the People's Daily newspaper in Beijing.

Looks like it's about to start eating the *other* buildings nearby.

If that thing ever got build I'd actually consider going back to Helsinki though.
