Affirmation Tower


Stunning renderings have been unveiled of an incredible 'upside down' supertall New York skyscraper that cantilevers outwards from the bottom up.

If approved, 'Affirmation Tower' will not only become one of Manhattan's most eye-catching skyscrapers, but the second tallest in the city and in the Western Hemisphere behind the 1,776ft-tall One World Trade Center.

The skyscraper would be the second tallest, designed by a black architect, Ghanian-British Sir David Adjaye of Adjaye Associates.

The first New York skyscraper by a black architect was 66-story 130 William, which topped out in 2019 also one of Sir David's designs.

The proposed site is on Manhattan's west side near Hudson Yards and the plan is for the tower to house the headquarters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)

According to a statement, the tower is shaped like a 'blossoming tree because metaphorically and physically, this project is designed to put down roots for women and minority representation within the NYC skyline'

If approved, Affirmation Tower would be New York City's first skyscraper building owned by majority black and women-led companies.

The developer team is black-owned and women-owned and the general contractor, JV, is 35 per cent woman-owned.

Ok Naa..
Up-side-down Ko??

According to a statement, the tower is shaped like a 'blossoming tree because metaphorically and physically, this project is designed to put down roots for women and minority representation within the NYC skyline.

The tower's design features a firm trunk, branching out and creating incredible possibilities'.

Beautiful edifice. No sign of omo onile here.

Beautiful...

Will this be another exoskeleton structure?

Omo, this Upside Down design will take a lot of structural ingenuity. Dem try.
The black race has brilliant brains but the environment here doesn't allow it to be optimised.
You are much more productive when you work in a cool air-conditioned office so even our hot weather alone doesn't favor creative thinking, talk-less of the hardship orchestrated by our corrupt & vision-less leaders.
