It would still, however, be taller than most of the supertalls on that block-Oiio’s plans show the building having a total length of 4,000 feet, meaning that it would join the ranks of the world’s “megatalls”-buildings that are taller than 1,968 feet, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. This would put it next door to One57, and just down the block from rising supertalls like Central Park Tower and SHoP’s skinny, Steinway Hall-replacing skyscraper. In the renderings, the Big Bend sits in the middle of Billionaires’ Row (because where else would a building like this go?), with the U-shape sitting on either side of the Calvary Baptist Church. Renderings for the project, published on Dezeen, show a building-can we call it a building?-that looks, at the most basic level, like Rafael Viñoly’s 432 Park Avenue, but stretched out and bent, creating a U-shaped structure.
Well, here’s a thing: architecture firm Oiio has come up with a conceptual design for a structure they call The Big Bend, which would be the longest-not the tallest-building in the world.
