    This tower looks great but for its height, coming in from JFK on Saturday evening, you couldnt see it at all. Weird

    Walked by the building yesterday -- the Times "logo" looks fantastic.

    LCM chairs designed by Charles Eames....I did a project on them at my old school back when I was an architecture major...I agree with you, they are very cool.

    These look like they have a nice powder-coat finish on the legs ...

    Did the original Eames design have chromed legs?

    Growing up we had an sort of Eames-ish dining set with chairs somewhat akin to these, except the legs were black wrought iron (think California / Eichler modern).

    I'd kill to have that set now

    I'd like to get an Eames set but I just can't justify spending that much cash. Man, I've got to get into hedge funds, then I can justify any expenditure.

    Looks very mechanical and raw, much like the West Side now.


    In person, the Times appears to be the same shade as the concrete on the McSam.




    I'd kill to see what it'd look like without the rods.




    Timeless building.
