SHoP’s American Copper Buildings stood out above the rest for Curbed’s editors, bringing a bit of glamour to the architecturally bland east side of Manhattan.
Architecture editor Jessica Mairs chose the design as one of ten unique skyscrapers that made their mark this year.
The three-story steel truss skybridge, which connects the east and west towers of the buildings, is the city’s first in 80 years.
The arena was named one of the 21st century buildings that transformed New York’s skyline.
SHoP designed the 1.3-acre Drexel Square elliptical park, along with West 8.
SHoP designed the luxury condominium building at the former Anthony’s Pier 4 site in Boston’s Seaport District.
Recent construction photos on Curbed show the bronze-and-terracotta facade during installation.
New photos by Field Condition show off the new building, which now has much of its exterior cladding.
Curbed notes that the facade is up at 242 Broome, the only SHoP-designed building of the Essex Crossing master plan.
SHoP used VR/AR technologies in the design and fabrication of Barclays Center and the Botswana Innovation Hub.
