"Residential buildings are among the most difficult projects from the standpoint of creative expression, given the need for redundancy in floor plates and unit types, and a relatively uniform envelope; otherwise it becomes impractical to build. Gehry's forte has been institutional type work...museums, concert halls and universities. He's done wonderful public housing in Germany, but for his first crack at a tall residential building, I'd say the Beekman Tower is pretty amazing."
