And it is a big one, reportedly the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere at 870-feet tall. Just steps from City Hall and the Woolworth Building, the rippling stainless steel tower glistens as it rises from the stone canyons of Lower Manhattan. Gehry's office answered some questions about the striking addition to the New York City skyline.   more New Profiles   Architects DCOOP Architects, Mumbai Architects WEISS / MANFREDI, New York   Architects Petersen Architekten, Dortmund Architects Park Associati, Milano   Landscape Architects robin winogrond landschaftsarchitekten, Zürich Architects Aisaka Architects Atelier, Tokyo   Agenda 12 to 17 April, Rho Fairgrounds, Milan Salone Internazionale del Mobile, Fair more   14 April to 30 June, ETH Zürich Velux Award 2010: Light of Tomorrow, Exhibition more   14 April, Magnolia Theatre, West Village, Dallas James Corner: Forum Lecture more   until 23 April, Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York DIG, installation and performance more   until 2 May, Universities of Stuttgart and Cairo New Masters Programme: Integrated Urbanism and Sustainable Design more   more Lectures, Exhibitions, Events Updated Profiles   Architects EXH DESIGN, Shanghai Architects waltritsch a+u, Trieste   Landscape Architects HM White Site Architects, New York Architects Spengler · Wiescholek, Hamburg   Interior Designers CASE-REAL / Koichi Futatsumata, Fukuoka / Tokyo Architects APOLLO Architects & Associates, Tokyo   Jobs Senior Urban Designer KCAP Architects & Planners, Rotterdam more   Intermediate Architects Spatial Practice, Beijing more   Senior Architect/Interior Designer Mahmoudieh Design, London more   Façade Specialist Werner Sobek Engineering & Design, New York more   Russischsprachiger Projektleiter Atelier Brückner, Stuttgart more   Interior Designer in Mumbai Architecture BRIO, Mumbai more   Master of Architecture, Dipl.
