5/24/05 05:51 pm - Seen at Astor Place, on the new high-rise there...   Of the adjectives I'd like to see for a prospective apartment, I could see being attracted by 'Absstract'. Too, I don't see how I could possibly object to 'reflective', 'iconic', or even 'provacative'. 'Curvacous' might give me pause, but only briefly, and the building certainly -is- curvaciousl if not classically, with it's design looking like four fused cylinders. But 'Undulating'? I do not think that word means what they think it means. And I do not care to be, much less live, in any structure that undulates. |

I've been in the Sears Tower when it was waving about fairly noticeably. It was more than a little disconcerting. I don't think I want my apartment doing that either.

But this wasn't -that- tall a building -- I think the sdvertisers think "undulating" means "wavy" or something.

"Come live in Cthulu Towers! Cthulu Towers - the undulating towers* just for you!"
(*Undulating towers of malevolent slime, but noone's perfect.)

But what does "abstract" mean for a building? That no concrete was used in its construction?

I think it means that the building isn't in the shape of a giant woman-headed lion or something.
