Rising
out of the tumult of the Lower East Side amid the discount stores
of Delancey is Blue, a condominum designed by architect Bernard
Tschumi..
For the moment, sneaker shops and fast food hold sway--but for how
long? The icy blue on blue, glass against sky, tower looms above the
rif-raff and roaring traffic of the Williamsburg Bridge.
As I continue to photograph the Lower East Side, I return to such
architectural icons, unthinkable just a few years ago, as touchstones
of New York's present gilded age.
