JUNE 3, 2014 • Almost every day, it seems, another world-famous architect unveils plans to erect a building in New York City. From first-timers to the local scene like Zaha Hadid, whose curvaceous building along the High Line broke ground this year, to tried-and-true veterans like Robert A.M. Stern, who is working on three limestone-heavy projects (of course), it seems pretty much every starchitect on earth is making New York a testing ground for designs. Their brainchilds, mostly housing pricey condos, are zany and classic, tall and short, cylindrical and pyramidal, glassy and, well, glassier. So check out 42 projects star architects are currently working on—and ones recently complete—across New York City, if only to get a sense of the scale of the change our built environment is about to receive. Think of one we missed? Hit up the tipline. Brace!
