This would put it next door to One57, and just down the block from rising supertalls like Central Park Tower and SHoP’s skinny, Steinway Hall-replacing skyscraper. In the renderings, the Big Bend sits in the middle of Billionaires’ Row (because where else would a building like this go?), with the U-shape sitting on either side of the Calvary Baptist Church. Renderings for the project, published on Dezeen, show a building-can we call it a building?-that looks, at the most basic level, like Rafael Viñoly’s 432 Park Avenue, but stretched out and bent, creating a U-shaped structure. Well, here’s a thing: architecture firm Oiio has come up with a conceptual design for a structure they call The Big Bend, which would be the longest-not the tallest-building in the world.
