		The tone of Astor Place is set by places like Cooper Union, the Public Theatre, and the gargantuan former Wanamaker store on Broadway: heavy, brawny blocks of masonry that sit foursquare on the ground.
		Of course, cities are often enriched by architecture that seems, at first, to be alien: the pristine glass towers of Mies van der Rohe and the sylphlike bridges of Santiago Calatrava have brought grace to countless harsh, older cityscapes.
		The apartment units at Astor Place were designed by Gwathmey Siegel in association with the architect Ismael Leyva.

		For example, a massive fl cube sculpture rests on a tiny traffic island at the juncture of Fourth Avenue and Astor Place, where Manhattan's Bowery slum, hippieland, an industrial zone and a growing clump of theatres all converge.
		This one sculpture gave the Astor Place neighborhood a coherent image which symbolize and summerizes its disparate parts.
		Considering Cambridge's large number of practicing artists, the one sculpture or one arrangement of sculptures could be amended for Brattle Square to an ever-changing exhibit of the works of local artists.
