A conceptual design By Mark Foster Gage Architects for an ornate, realtor-trolling, 102 storey New York City residential building overlooking Central Park. To wit:

The building is draped in a façade of limestone-tinted Taktl© concrete panels with hydroformed sheet-bronze details and brass-tinted alloy structural extrusion enclosures. The 64th floor features a sky-lobby with exclusive retail stores, a 2-story high ballroom for events, and a 4-star restaurant all of which have access to four massive cantilevered balconies that offer an awe-inspiring event and dining experience unique to the city of New York.

        Well actually I think you’ll find the decorative feature you’re thinking of is a ‘Grotesque’, a Gargoyle strictly refers to Grotesques that would have water leaking through one orifice or other as basically a fancy drain opening. Coming from the old French word for throat.

        *Rattles inhaler*
        *Glances to see if that nugget has finally attracted her attention*
        *It hasn’t*

        Sorry, Neilo, I owe you a gargle. ;-)

    You do, surely! I was going to deploy grotesque but I think I sound quite pseudy enough already :) Bullet dodged, I guess…

    Btw that tall, thin building on the left? If you look, you see blacked out ‘bands’ of floors? Those are open to let the wind through because the building is so tall and thin. All those empty floors and it’s *still* economical to build it.

    Madness!
