Adjaye reveals designs for ‘world’s tallest skyscraper by a black architect’

摘要

David Adjaye’s plans for a 1,633-foot building in New York would be the tallest skyscraper in the world by a black architect, it is understood. The $3.5bn Affirmation Tower would be the second-tallest tower in New York, after One World Trade Centre, and one of only a tiny number of high-rises in the city designed by a black architect. And it would be the first in Manhattan to be owned by majority black- and women-led companies, and include the highest occupiable floor in the western hemisphere.
