瑞士雙人建築師組合 Jacques Herzog & Pierre de Meuron 繼北京奧運「鳥巢」體育館之後，即將在紐約市大展身手，於曼哈坦推出創意十足的57層豪華公寓大樓。這棟半透明玻璃摩天大樓有如錯落堆疊的水晶盒， 2008年10月中旬即將動工，2010年開放使用。
造價6億5000萬美元的大樓「56 Leonard Street」是這兩位建築大師的第一件摩天大樓作品，預定2008年9月15日公開設計細節，其特色是使用懸臂樑支撐陽台，使整棟大樓看起來像「疊架在 空中的房屋」，各層是不同大小的盒狀，並安排各種角度，讓145戶公寓各具特色和觀景角度。這棟大樓將有寬敞的黑色花岡石大廳，挑高5.4米，共有兩層舒 適的休閒設施，包括23米游泳池、用懸臂樑伸到街道上方6米的戶外陽台、圖書館、放映室和健身中心。每戶公寓將有獨立陽台，公寓的設計包括雙臥室至五臥 室，整棟大樓共有10戶頂層豪華公寓，售價自350萬至3300萬美元（約台幣1.1億至10.5億元）。
這棟57層大樓「56 Leonard Street」將聳立於紐約市翠貝區(TriBeCa)，該區多半是兩層或三層的連棟式住宅，19世紀與20世紀初的建築物雜陳，最高的建築大約為25 層。但 Herzog & de Meuron 表示，將力求大樓和原有景觀協調。
他們同時也與藝術家 Anish Kapoor 合作，由 Anish Kapoor 所設計的不銹鋼雕塑品將安置於大樓底層。
Herzog & de Meuron 在聲明中指出：「這個社區的特色是建築物大小不同。我們希望各建築物能夠對話溝通，維持協調。」
Herzog & de Meuron 目前正在設計倫敦的泰特現代美術館增建案(Tate Modern)，整個工程耗資1.34億英鎊，完工後堪與紐約現代美術館館(MoMA)、巴黎龐畢度中心相媲美。

Olympic Bird's Nest architects design NY high-rise
By ULA ILNYTZKY
NEW YORK (AP) — The Swiss architects of the iconic Bird's Nest stadium at the Beijing Olympics are bringing their innovative style to New York City with a translucent glass skyscraper designed to look like houses stacked in the sky.
Architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron's $650 million, 57-story condominium featuring dramatic, cantilevered terraces is slated to begin going up in mid-October in lower Manhattan.
It will be their first high-rise commission anywhere in the world. The design is scheduled to be unveiled Monday.
The architects liken their design to "houses stacked in the sky," with each level staggered progressively with different-sized boxes arranged at varying angles to create unique floor plans for each of the 145 apartments.
They said the tower reinvents the classic American skyscraper "as a lacy, pixilated Rubik's Cube." Its concealed framing results in a nearly all-glass structure with cityscape views from virtually every angle.
Herzog said the firm uses "well-known forms and materials in a new way so that they become alive again," just like Andy Warhol "used common pop images to say something new."
The building will feature a massive stainless steel sculpture by Anish Kapoor that will be "playfully squished" into the tower's base as homage to the city's culture, said developer Izak Senbahar of Alexico Group.
It will be the first permanent public artwork in New York City for Kapoor, best known for his enigmatic sculptural forms including "Sky Mirror," a temporary installation at Rockefeller Center, and "Cloud Gate" in Chicago's Millennium Park.
Senbahar said he commissioned Kapoor to create the balloon-shaped form as a permanent site-specific work because "great art and architecture are essential parts of everyday life." The sculpture also articulates the architects' vision of blending the indoors and outdoors.
The building will have an expansive 18-foot-high black granite lobby, a 75-foot pool, outdoor sun deck, library lounge, screening room and fitness center.
The apartments will be offered for $3.5 million to $33 million. The tower is slated to open in 2010.
Herzog & de Meuron is currently redesigning the Tate Modern in London. The twisted silver beams of its $450 million Bird's Nest stadium became one of the most enduring images of the Olympics.
