Jenga!

Via Gizmodo:

Fresh off the billions of eyes that have been on the beautiful Beijing National Stadium, Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron have set their sights on NYC with this incredible 57-story residential tower, unveiled today. It consists of 145 unique apartments that are stacked into the sky like a Jenga tower that's already been well-poked by a party of well-lubricated players. Especially when you get up to the penthouse level—if you're motion sick, you might want to think twice about dropping $33 mil for such a beautiful place when you'll wake up every morning feeling like you're dangling off a cliff...

The concept is interesting, but inelegant. The building is set to go up in Tribeca on Leonard Street, but the big question is whether this sucker will actually get built as the economy continues to unravel.
