Herzog & de Meuron‘s New York City skyscraper, 56 Leonard—aka the “Jenga Tower” because of its stacked-cube appearance, is steadily rising in Tribeca. While the building currently has a pretty standard glass box form with some protruding balconies, its upper floors will taper dramatically, hence the nickname.
Ahead of the tower topping out this summer, the 56 Leonard team has a released a one-minute timelapse video that shows the building’s progress over the last 14 months. It’s a fun (and quick) watch, and nicely builds anticipation for the tower’s final form.
