This has minor Corbusier vibes with the concrete and colors. It’s a nice thought, but development teams need to learn that exposed concrete does not do well in NYC, and if it’s cast in place, there aren’t any contractors here who can pour it well either.
When done correctly, it can work in NYC. Check out 441 9th Ave (Hudson Commons), the 17 story addition by KPF to any existing warehouse/office structure. That said, to many cast-in-place concrete structure in NYC are not executed with the same level of care and age poorly with out proper maintenance. Like you said…a nice thought.
