as you saw this morning, the effect on sue bierman park. by computer, you can identify two rivers. previously less than 1/1 thousand of 1% of any effect. believe me, this is imperceptible from the point of view of us as human beings using the site. design excellence. the project requires the highest level of design. to this end, we are designing a building which is quiet and elegant, designed to be a strong urban edge, defining the civic space that it fronts. the intention is to withstand the changes in fashion and trends over time and make this a project that wears well in terms of aesthetics but also in terms of materials used. we are using limestone, naturally patinad materials. hardwood with a buy the building of high quality end age naturally over time. there's not much time this morning, so quickly, here is an overall view of the project from washington to broadway. you can see the housing piece on the far left-hand side of the image there, designed with a series of smaller almost brownstone scale buildings. will do a quick view from the corner of washington along the embarca
