American architecture studio Kohn Pedersen Fox has unveiled images of a supertall skyscraper that is currently being built in Midtown Manhattan.
Commenters analysed the structure, with one praising the "contextual design approach" while another questioned: "Can we declare this day the end of messianic Miesianism?"
However, a commenter thought the design "kind of falls apart when you look at the details."
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section included Rafael Viñoly Architects' plans for a vineyard-covered airport terminal, a pavilion designed for The OWO hotel in London and the news that Elon Musk's company Neuralink has implanted a brain chip into its first human patient.
