Bank of America Tower
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ One Bryant Park, Manhattan, NYC, NY. Full spectrum color + HDR photos merged… ✎ The 1,200ft. tall (55 story) tower was designed by COOKFOX Architects and completed in 2009 --- three older buildings & a theater were demolished to make room for this ugly giant. Sometimes referred to as the BOAT, the building is considered a worldwide model for green architecture in skyscrapers. It is the third tallest building in New York City and sixth tallest building in the United States. In 2013 Brooklyn Grange Rooftop Farm was employed to install and maintain two honeybee hives on the building. Don't ask me where they expect the bees to get enough pollen from in the concrete jungle to make honey --- there are lots of parks & green spaces, sure, but nowhere near enough to be playing at beekeeping. |
