I walked past this building last night and was struck by how it interacts with its neighbors. This is just a reflection of the met life building but it reminds me of some of the buildings I saw in Shanghai that have video screens built into them.
I had incorrectly identified this building as being by Rem Koolhaas, I was wrong, It's actually by Cetra/Ruddy but it will be playing the straight man to Rem Koolhaas' Lou Costello Building, sneakily rising up behind it on 22nd street. There is an excellent article about these architectural relationships by James Gardner in the New York Sun, you can read that here..
