Utility Boxes as Architecture
detail of the main utility box entrance
Continuing the fall Under Construction update... Another Renzo project, this one moving into its final stages - 6 years on - the JP Morgan Library expansion (first snapped back in March). At the risk of sounding dismissive to a project heavily restricted by Landmark designation, still shrouded in scaffolding, and notably triumphant in its geological challenges, it does seem Renzo plopped three Utility Boxes on the site, and bolted. Could it be a boney middle finger to the legacy of one of America's most ruthless capitalists? Sure appears so... Judge for yourself.
