Can you believe it? A mosque (or Masjid) is all set to be constructed in a place formerly known as Ground zero in New york.
How did the authorities give permission to construct a mosque. This is something unexpected in New york. Why all of a sudden this rather odd decision?

Richard Meier & Partners 1999-2002
173 and 176 Perry Street are the first two built projects in Manhattan by long-time resident and member of the New York Five, Richard Meier. The 16-story towers stand at the edge of Greenwich Village, facing the Hudson River. The two buildings seem to be aesthetically driven by their location, and the views afforded to their residents. In this project, Meier used perimeter radiant heat in order to keep the floor-to-ceiling views unobstructed, and both towers have their concrete cores facing Manhattan rather than the Hudson for the same reason. Like so many of Meier's successful projects, these two towers have an obvious orientation landmark (in this case the river) without some of which Meier's residential projects seem lost and lacking in direction.
I came across the Birkbeck College project of Surface Architects
.
It blew me away. These guys are actually building with color. Color is
right there alongside brick, panels, glass, concrete and stone. Color
is not a layer on top of the building, color IS the building.
Their architectural spaces are defined by physical material as well as
by color. Putting the outlines of the physical shapes next to the
outlines of the colors show that this is a tale of two stories. The one
story is told by the physical dimensions. The other story is told by
the colors. The two stories intersect, but are not quite the same.
Together the two stories shape the space.

Oh my...
There we go again. I came across this page at dwell.com where Fred A. Bernstein says:
I’ve always been vaguely embarrassed by color, associating pastels with kitsch and primaries with kindergarten. I’m not even sure I agree with Meier, who claimed, in his Pritzker Prize acceptance speech, that he likes white “because within it you can see all the colors of the rainbow.” I like white because within it I can’t see all the colors of the rainbow.
For your education, Fred, here’s a picture of a Richard Meier building.
I measured some of the colors I found on the building in the picture
and put them at the bottom. Incidentally: I didn’t spot any white. This
is a picture with ‘normal’ lighting. Things can get really drastic
when the lighting gets more dramatic. Below you’ll find an example,
which I grabbed from Richard Meier’s website.
Here’s a question for you, Fred: Why does Richard Meier publish only color images of his work?
To choose a white or grey surface for a building is as much a color
choice as any other. Look at the work of Le Corbusier. He used brightly
painted surfaces alongside bare concrete. I somehow don’t think that
was because he ran out of paint...
