The designer let Bloomberg News inside the unfinished rental building and revealed some of his inspiration, calling it “the lovechild of a courtyard building and a skyscraper.”
The tetrahedron is Ingels’ first major project in New York City. It topped out last fall at 43 stories.
Last month, he spoke about the challenge of turning the practical into the poetic at an event hosted by The Real Deal. [Bloomberg News] — Tess Hofmann
