Reshaping NYC's Skyline

So I was on the BQE in Brooklyn and I noticed this beautiful, new building across the river.  It is massive in height and structurally dominating.  There is an organic element to the design in that it has a ripple effect which mirrors the water of the river surrounding it.  The world-renowned architect Frank Gehry just recently opened up the doors to 8 Spruce Street.  The building, at 870 feet, 76 stories high and about 1 million square feet is set to be the tallest residential skyscraper in the entire Western Hemisphere.
