They actually have the gall to call this the Bauhaus Condos. As if aA haven’t been building versions of this same condo for 15 years. This is exactly the flaw, for me, of the principles of modernism in architecture- the stripping away of decorative elements. Who goes to New York to look at One Chase Manhattan Plaza? Architecture fans go to see Lever House and the Seagram building, as I did. After that, what’s the point of visiting One Chase Manhattan? There are scores of interesting buildings to see in New York and clones of Seagram aren’t on most people’s list.
