Dubbed the ‘Jenga Building’ for its striking, stacked appearance, this amazing 250-meter high residential building in New York has been designed by renowned architects Herzog & de Meruron. Work is apparently set to recommence on the 60-storey building, to be located at 56 Leonard Street, (initial work was halted back in 2008 when the developers ran into financial difficulty as the recession hit). Included in the original plans was a massive stainless-steel bean-shaped Anish Kapoor sculpture positioned at street level to look like it was propping up the entire building, although there is no word this will still be a part of the structure.
