Time Out New York / Issue 628 : Oct 11–17, 2007

Sights & Blights

Architecture: Sights

We chose some dependable, predictable greats (we know, you saw these coming from a mile away—literally), and the somewhat less expected structures we hate. Oh, and it wasn’t an accidental omission of the ESB, in case you were wondering.

1 Chrysler Building
2 Woolworth Building
3 Brooklyn Bridge
4 Flatiron Building
5 Hearst Tower
Sights 6–10

In the concrete jungle that is midtown, this 46-story edifice is unlike any other. Designed by Lord Norman Foster, the Jacquardesque “diagrid” provides a blueprint for the future: It’s certified green and dapper as all get-out. (Even if it’s been compared to a ribbed condom.)

  This is my favorite building, unfortunately whenever I get inside I am turned back by Security, a bit dissapointing after flying from Australia.

  The architectural sage of Oak Park, IL, was certainly a genius (a fact of which he was well aware, and never neglected to remind others) and Fallingwater is a monument to Modernism. But the Guggenheim, I'm sorry, looks like a tiered toilet bowl. As the editors of Mad magazine would have said in the old days, "Yeccch!"
