On Friday’s walk I really wanted to see the glass going up on the Chelsea Gehry building. I’d heard bad things and I have to say It looks a little strange (though now doubt its some sort of green egineering to screen out too much direct sun… or something)… on the way up on the West Side I saw all the new Meier’s and few other things and I just kept thinking about Steel and Glass and how a lot of Recent New York architecture looks like something someone would’ve snorted coke off in the eighties… like those old glass stereo cabinets back when people had stereos so big you needed a cabinet: everything was flat surfaces, and shine and mirrors and inflated egos.
