FIVE FRANKLIN PLACE - NEW YORK, NEW YORK
05.04.2008

Construction has just begun in Tribeca on Five Franklin Place by Dutch architect Ben van Berkel of UNStudio. Click HERE for more pics & info...



Van Berkel adds "The apartments at Five Franklin Place do not follow a strong grid. They are organically designed in how the stairs swoop upward, how the balcony loops you back indoors. There's an idea of looping around the apartments, without many dead ends, so that all of the space really accommodates life and the flow of life."

You are an extreme architecture geek, you know that? I would not even know about most of these building if not for this blog. This might as well be "Kanye's Building Blog".

i think that plants will begin to be a stronger concept utilized in design, it gives the perception that a building is environmentally friendly if it can grow harmoniously with nature,whether it truly is or not
NobbyHero | May 4, 2008

This is another cool architectural post by you Kanye.
DeeWA2007 | May 4, 2008
This is really cool. Do they use the GREEN concept? I'm really into the environment. I love it when architechs utilize the GREEN idea into their designs. NOT TOO LATE ON THIS ONE. Get your two cents in YE...
