This week on Dezeen, Adjaye Associates proposed a supertall skyscraper in New York that has a series of cantilevers to give it a dramatic, inverted appearance.
Adjaye Associates, which is led by architect David Adjaye, designed the 1,663-feet-tall (498-metre) skyscraper for a vacant plot in New York State in response to an open Request for Proposals from the state government.
In other tall building news, the Foster + Partners-designed Tulip tourist attraction took a step closer to becoming reality with UK housing secretary Michael Gove expected to approve its construction.
The decision, which is expected within the next month, would overrule London mayor Sadiq Khan's decision to refuse the tower planning permission.
