ten arquitectos : clinton park 11th ave b/w 53rd + 54th
the overall massing of the project slopes up and away from clinton park, starting at 96 feet along 11th avenue and climbing up to 348 feet at the middle of the block; this height transition negotiates two very dissimilar urban scales: the flat, horizontal one of the park located to the west of 11th avenue and the vertical, windowless structure of the telephone switching tower to the east of the site.
securing light and air for a great majority of apartment units, the double loaded corridor shifts diagonally across the site in a unique orientation to the manhattan grid, reducing the building’s mass adjacent to the neighboring buildings. (designboom)

department of eagles at MoMA
The Museum of Modern Art is home to classic works by Cézanne, Van Gogh, Picasso — and, for at least one night, a music video by an indie band from Brooklyn. On Tuesday, the rock duo Department of Eagles (comprised of Fred Nicolaus and Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen) unveiled the video for its song “No One Does It Like You” at MoMA, as part of PopRally, the event series hosted by the museum and P.S.1.

thanks again, google.
Most of us have done it. Instead of hitting "reply" to an e-mail, we accidentally push "reply all," sending a potentially embarrassing or insulting message to those we didn't intend to see it. To address this problem, Google Inc.'s Gmail Labs has launched an experimental feature called "Undo Send" that gives users a chance to rewrite their message, correct settings or simply fix typos.
