This is a rendered view of the Sky Scraper I am currently designing at WSP Cantor Seinuk.(Preliminary stage).
Its nice to see that they have started me on a "Small" project??!!
Believe me with the main structure standing at 31stories this is in NY terms a relatively small building...... Yet in Britain this would be HUGE!
My Boss is Yefim Gurevich, he moved to NY over 20Years ago from what is now known as Russia. He's been very supportive during my first few weeks and considering he has soo may jobs on the go he has still made time for me. Yefim Reminds me of my Russian Advanced mathematics lecturer at University, he too was also incredibly intelligent so I expect to learn a lot from Yefim.
In fact I would go as far to say that WSP Cantor Seinuk (To find out more click on the link) has a some of the finest minds in the industry (Present company excluded of course!) I bet the average Office IQ dropped when I arrived (Yeh right!)
I feel lucky, I have been given pretty much full design freedom including client (Architect) liason with great results (even though I do say so myself). I have been providing loads of solutions lately and I think there really pleased with my performance soo far. Lets Hope I it stays that way.
Oh and By the way the, did I mention the Architects on this Job are massive! they are know as SOM or Skidmore Owings and Merril (to check out the web link just click on the underlined name)
SOM are responsible for the architecture behind the WSP Cantor Seinuk design for WTC 1 (Freedom Tower) and quess what! the main office is based in New York on Wall street opposite the Stock Exchange of all places!
However I do have my eyes set on another tower..... you may have heard about it.
I will post it next If your interested.
