#4 IF it passes, we'll see a dent in the real estate market in NYC and parking should get easier down on Oyster Bay.

Corbusier did a great job on the building, it is a really handsome building. I suppose we could let someone convert it condos or something.

The renovation costs to remove asbestos alone, not to mention rewiring to modern standards... But hadn't that nice Mr. Trump once offered to do the work at cost -- or was it Ted Turner? One of the billionaires littering the landscape. at any rate.

#7 The UN building is indeed impressive but Le Corbusier's apartment buildings and houses were sterile, post-modern stark whiteism almost un-livable domiciles. He called them machines for living and they had all the warmth of a cargo carrier.

#11 Le Corbusier broke everything down into what he called the modular. It was a scale of harmonic measures that set architectural elements in proportion to human scale.

Frank Lloyd Wright used modular schemes in most of his designs but they were geometrical, i. e., 5x3, and not tied to any particular individual.
