Who is the author of these ugly masterpiece buildings in Brooklyn? (Lewis: condos, buying) - New York City - New York (NY) - Page 2 - City-Data Forum

I think these are Richard Meyer designed.

I love how the ventilation are units are showing on the last one.

This forum continues to reach new lows. First it was endless real estate/low income housing; now people are coming to vent about "ugly" buildings.

People want sexy buildings to fornicate with..People want to be inside of sexy buildings..People want to exit sexy buildings...

Nothing ugly about that building. It meshes well with the smaller homes next to it. It looks like a modern pre-war building.

comparable to "vegan leather" saying

I would personally rather live in a brick "tenement".

They'll have modern electrical and plumbing. They'll be built to current fire codes. Given the height, they'll have elevators. Someone made an issue of the exposed HVAC units. That means they have split ductless ACs, which are a damn sight better than the window mounted potential meteorites used in older buildings.

These are not artistically designed building. This is utility housing. Given the dearth of information (a couple of outside pictures), assumptions have to be made. But I'll stand by my statement. Give all else being equal, I'd rather be in one of these, than a walk up pre-war tenement in a normal state of repair for a standard grade NYC rental building.

If someone has any more info on these buildings (a rental/sale listing would be nice) please post it. It would be interesting to see what these look like on the inside.

It's not great, but better than the horrible vinyl-sided buildings you see all over the city

I actually don't mind those personally. I wonder if those tend to be made out of wood or brick.

What I hate are those featureless Fedders Houses, those are just straight up ugly

Pretty terrible. They look so cheap. Those windows look so flimsy.

Hey at least it's still better than a lot of the unnecessarily political and racist sh** that tends to dominate on here now.
