May Flowers
Miami's mighty building orgy just got a little bit more extravagant, as plans to build the largest residential tower - 110 stories (1200ft) - have been unveiled by developer Larry Cohen. Although still unapproved, you can bet the chances of it passing through are best in Miami's Sun-Sensational bubble of hi-rise lux living. Although, get this, it will be Concrete. Yes, indeed, I wonder what a 1200ft concrete hi-rise will look like. Can we get Safdie on the scene? Speaking of which, a documentary, Moshe Safdie: The Power of Architecture, will be making the rounds... I look forward to that, he had a wonderful cameo in that fantastic film, My Architect. Interesting link, via Brownstoner, about the upcoming NYC tree inventory. The choice quote comes mid-article: "Last year, for example, the Office of the New York Attorney General mandated $47,000 worth of tree planting in a January, 2004, settlement with four school bus companies accused of excessive idling, one of the first attempts by a government agency to include trees in the bargaining process on air pollution." Dats what I'm talkin' bout!
