Pritzker Prize winner’s plan for U.N. development back on track

Posted in: Dezeen Wire


Dezeen Wire: a tower on the site of the United Nations‘ campus in New York by Pritzker Prize winning architect Fumihiko Maki that has been on hold since 2004 has been given the green light to continue development – The New York Observer

Maki’s proposal for a long, narrow 35-storey tower on the same site as buildings by Oscar Niemeyer and Le Corbusier was stalled by political arguments between the U.N. and the City of New York. The design will now need to undergo alterations ahead of a planning application and is due to break ground in 2013.
