More on that impossible-looking, OMA/Rem Koolhaas-designed, 24-story condo at 23 East 22nd Street: The gravity-defying design will be supported by a “structural façade consisting of a set of shear walls with openings for light and air...In areas under greatest stress, the window spacing is modified to provide increased structural area and rigidity, supporting the building like a structural corset." Also, lower levels will have "floor windows,” possibly evidence of the smarchitect's ever-increasing bonkers-ness. The new residence will also feature screening facilities–a collaboration with Creative Artists Agency–for resident cinephiles to watch movies starring their One Madison Park neighbors.
