what is the square footage for studio Apts?
A boring glass tower that will add even more parking spots to the neighborhood
Over the last several decades, as people have fallen in love with floor-to-ceiling windows and light-strewn spaces, birds have suffered the consequences. The amount of glass in a building is the strongest predictor of how dangerous it is to birds, according to a report on the issue published by the city of Toronto.
Earlier this month in Chicago, almost a thousand birds were killed on a single day at a single building, McCormick Place. Nationwide, researchers estimate that hundreds of millions of birds die crashing into windows each year. It’s one factor, along with problems like habitat loss, behind a sharp decline in North America’s bird population. Since 1970, numbers have dropped by about 30 percent.
Architects and companies are trying out solutions. New windows at the Javits Center, a convention space in Midtown Manhattan, are set with patterns that make them more visible to birds, and deaths have declined by 90 percent. Since most crashes happen within 100 feet of the ground, skyscrapers are advised to treat only the first 10 or so stories.
Dear lord—gubser has a new cause célèbre—birds!
Anything wrong with that Borodoug?
Are you in favor of killing birds?
LMK
you got a problem with that BoroDoug?
Are you in favor of killing birds?
I’m in favor of smashing your head against a window to shut you up Guesser, Gubser, Guessers. Are you even a human or a robot, and why do you ALWAYS talk sh*t to everyone here? Like we get you’re a NIMBY but no need to hunt and go after people like a terrorist 🙄
Really nice. Interiors look stunning. Would really love to see a continuous pedestrian path along the Greenpoint water front. This could be make it one step closer
