Eagle + West Tower adorn Greenpoint, Brooklyn's waterfront
The Eagle + West Tower was completed in Greenpoint, on the Brooklyn waterfront. It was built by OMA, an architectural design firm/urban planning consultant founded in 1975 by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and others. The stair-like tower is covered with a striped facade of cast stone "shingles" that can be rotated to create striking shadows.
