By far, the effect is rather surprising, defying the rules of classical art, the building reveals itself in all its splendor of deconstruction. Imagine 57 floors of apartments stacked one above the other in the cheerful chaos of a hodgepodge very bohemian and you get closer to the idea.

In this stack of 145 private residences, while the glass is of very concrete terraces and armed door to false to give the vertigo to a trapeze artist! The show is great because, in addition to the challenge of empty, it reinvents insolently housing, neighborhoods, the City promptly.
Donations finished driveways of houses, skyscraper-piece, with Herzog and De Meuron, the city emerges from the vertical. And in this world pushed upward Art takes a unique place. Pillar integral part of this cluster of cubes, sculpture ovoïdale metal reflective of Anish Kapoor is a break perfectly integrated into the city.
Out of genres, but also forms that can anchor the city in an Eden sensory, aesthetic and intellectual. The rest of the story reveal a wealth of treasures that grew in intensity as the entresols.
Conceived as part dan a whole, 56 Leonard Street is perfectly in his neighborhood super trendy Tribecca., Downtown Manhattan. More than a new tower is a tribute to those streets which combines a history of manufacturing, small red brick houses, warehouses and super stylish new skyscrapers. More than a new tower so the 56 is a journey into the past with this compound and its future
