Residential tower VIA 57 West in New York wins the International Highrise Award 2016/17
In the west the site is separated from the Hudson River by a multi-lane motorway, in the north stands a historical electricity plant, in the south there are the noises and smell of the newly built waste sorting center, while a conventional, blue-glazed, 130-metre-high residential tower rises up in the east, whose view of the Hudson River may not be obstructed – these were the unattractive framework conditions for this project in the very mixed district of Hell’s Kitchen. The BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group responded to this with the innovative concept of a “courtscraper”.
