Regarding 432 Park avenue, while I hate everything it stands for, as someone with modern architecture education I must admit it's a well designed building

It being super simple very raw modernism makes it stand out by sheer size without actually any beauty of itself. It is different than the rest of the NYC skyline despite being as bland as humanely possible. The wind gusts look like a giant f you to both the poor and physics at first glance "look, we can afford to just leave those floors empty and can have holes without everything falling apart" but are actually structurally vital. It has a name but it's so boring everyone just uses the address. All in all it's probably one of the best middle fingers built in a while

I still think it should be blown up and replaced with something actually useful, but at least it will look great while the demolition charges detonate and destroy it from the inside

It really is the worst fucking building and I do agree, the most beautiful thing it could do is explode. And yeah the best thing about it is how it is a middle finger to all that is good
