dezeen (unofficial)Dezeen Debate features Anish Kapoor's "utterly irrational" New York sculpture
The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features newly released images of artist Anish Kapoor's mirrored New York artwork. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.
Photographer Iwan Baan has released images of Kapoor's highly-anticipated balloon-like sculpture, which sits at the base of Herzog and de Meuron's 56 Leonard Street skyscraper and is the artist's first permanent sculpture in New York City.
Readers were thrilled by the installation. One loved "the utter irrationality of it" and felt that it "kicks you in the frontal cortex", whilst another said the sculpture "feels like a special piece of work".

Diller Scofidio + Renfro creates pair of Columbia Business School buildings with "layer-cake design"
Architecture firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro has completed two buildings on the Manhattanville campus of Columbia University's School of Business in New York City.
The two buildings – Henry R Kravis Hall and David Geffen Hall – were designed in collaboration with FXCollaborative for Manhattanville, a 17-acre (6.9-hectare) site north of the university's existing campus in Upper Manhattan.
Kravis Hall is one of two Diller Scofidio + Renfro-designed buildings for the Columbia Business School
All buildings for this expanded campus follow a master plan by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
"Renzo Piano's Manhattanville masterplan stipulated an urban layer at the ground level would be permeable to the public, extending the city grid through the campus," said Charles Renfro, partner-in-charge for Diller Scofidio + Renfro. "That was a perfect starting point for us because our studio always advocates for these fuzzier distinctions between public space and institutions".
"Modern business practice is increasingly collaborative and non-siloed, and is predicated on an expanded adoption of technology, data, and advanced analytics alongside the fundamentals of traditional business education," said dean Costis Maglaras. "Our new, open, light-filled spaces reflect this reality."
The second building, Geffen Hall, has gradient shades of glass across the facade
Both buildings have facades primarily of glass and were constructed with what the studio called a "layer-cake design".
The two buildings sit across from a public park known as The Square designed by US studio James Corner Field Operations. With two groves of trees, it is the largest public park on any of Columbia's campuses.
Geffen Hall's storeys are offset at angles to one another
"A network of stairs and social spaces emerges from the ground floor, programmed with public spaces that welcome the community," said Refro.
"These networks weave through both buildings in dialogue across The Square, animating each facade with the school's daily activities."
The stairways of Geffen Hall form a sculptural network
The 11-storey Kravis Hall has two depths in the facade. The ground floor and student areas are inset from the floor plate, while the faculty floors stick out from the building and have fritted glass.
The two materials show the "interweaving of student, faculty, and administrative spaces" according to a release from Columbia.
Stairways are also a prominent design feature inside Kravis Hall
Geffen Hall is eight storeys tall and also has views of the Hudson River, while the rear exposure looks out into the neighbourhood of West Harlem.
Its storeys are offset with floor plates of varying thicknesses that emphasise the layering. A colour gradient in the glass stretches across each layer.
Samberg Commons is an auditorium on the ground floor of Kravis Hall
"Both set the stage for dynamic interactions between the University's different populations by shuffling faculty floors with student floors, made legible in each building’s syncopated silhouette," said Renfro.
Staircases in each structure open up the interior of the building. These "spiraling, sculptural circulation stairs" are meant to foster socialisation and interaction among students, according to the school.

Skip-truss framing on the faculty floors of Kravis Hall allows for the student spaces to be open with relatively few columns dividing the space. Kravis hall has views of the Square and the Hudson River.
Though the building was designed before the Covid-19 pandemic, certain elements integrate the importance of telecommunications.
"Accommodating Columbia Business School's international community who joined remotely from all over the world was always part of the mandate and drove the core of the classroom technological development," said Renfro.
The buildings are located at Columbia University's Manhattanville campus
The ground floors of each building are mostly open to the public. Kravis Hall's Samberg Commons is an "urban-scale living room" with a multi-storey, tiered seating made of white oak.
Kravis Hall also has a dining room and retail space, while Geffen Hall features an auditorium that seats 274 as well as a public cafe.
The expanded campus in Upper Manhattan was masterplanned by Renzo Piano Building Workshop
Sustainable elements of the designs include high-percentages of recycled content, and a majority of the wood was sourced from sustainable forests. The heating and cooling systems use "chilled beam technology" for underfloor heating in the tiered classrooms.
Other buildings on the Manhattanville campus include the Jerome L Greene Science Center, the Lenfest Center for the Arts and The Forum community centre – all by Renzo Piano Building Workshop.
Diller Scofidio + Renfro has previously completed a vertically organised medical centre for Columbia University.

Video shows pop-up synagogue in Ukraine unfolding like a book
This short film by photographer Iwan Baan shows the Babyn Yar Synagogue designed by Swiss studio Manuel Herz Architects opening and closing.
Located at Babyn Yar, the pop-up synagogue comprises a pair of 11-metre-high walls that unfold using a manual winch to reveal its decorative and detailed interiors.
As the building opens out, a roof pops up to shelter a wooden balcony and seating area inside that drop down from within its walls.
Babyn Yar Synagogue was designed by Manuel Herz Architects to mark the 80th anniversary of a massacre that took place at the site during the Holocaust.

The studio's founder Manuel Herz said he did not want to create a sombre memorial and instead opted for a building that "creates a feeling of wonder and awe".
"The pop-up book, when transformed into a building, with its transformative quality, and the collective ritual of opening and closing it, seemed to be the perfect leitmotif for the Babyn Yar Synagogue," he told Dezeen.
The project is shortlisted for the cultural building of the year in the Dezeen Awards 2021 and was also recently named the public vote winner for the same category.
