The Observer's Eliot Brown has a report from yesterday's City Council subcommittee hearing that saw architect Jean Nouvel ask that his skyscraper next to MoMA be allowed to rise 1,250' instead of 1,050'. Said the Frenchman, "You have to keep the city alive. I try to respect the neighborhood. The building is so slim." When asked if the Tower Verre could be built at 1,050', a project manager said, "It's—it's very hard to say." No decision was made yesterday. [NYO; previously]
