In addition to housing the Jets, the $1.4 billion stadium would be integral to the city's bid for the 2012 Olympics, which got a boost Tuesday with the news that New York was chosen as one of five finalists to host the games.
Pedersen said its design, which differs from the typical circular or oval stadium, is meant to fit seamlessly into the city's grid.
Pedersen said the windmills would generate almost all of the energy for the facility when it is being used as a football stadium and about 25% when it is being used as a convention and exhibition hall.

 The Midtown Book - 135 East 57th Street   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Kohn Pedersen Fox has consistently experimented with form and facade treatments with a master's refined touch, although the detailing sometimes, as here, looks as if it were filled in by some studio assistant.
Fortunately, its substantial setback means that the really important contest is the wonderful Ritz Tower (see The City Review article) at the other end of the block on Park Avenue and its motif if neoclassical so there is no problem with the new tower.
The plaza and the tempietto can always be upgraded, but the project has already substantially upgraded Lexington Avenue and the eastward expansion of the elegant part of 57th Street.

Yoshimura, president of the 40-year-old Tokyo-based developer Mori Building Ltd., is watching the construction of his company's third property in China, after the tower where he sits with his staff of 80 and the Senmao Building in Dalian.
The 105 billion yen project, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates of the U.S. and built by two Chinese contractors, has no special Japanese characteristics or Japanese ingenuity, Yoshimura said.
The original Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates design, a circular breezeway on the top floors of the rectangular tower, was scrapped for its lack of utility, construction difficulty and cost relative to the current design, which replaces the circle with a trapezoid.

The building also serves as an attractive "back door" to the city as you approach from the west--an alternative face to the familiar "front door" view of Chicago that tourists enjoy from Navy Pier and Michigan Avenue.
Consider the different contexts addressed so handsomely by the twin faces of 333 W. Wacker Drive, the 1983 office building by New York City architects Kohn Pedersen Fox.
A graceful arc of green glass makes a sculptural statement that works in the wide-open context of the Wacker Drive river corridor; meanwhile, the building's other facade, which is sliced and notched, suits the grittier, more confined district of the Loop.
