Paris, Zaha Hadid and crane collapses

While LittleWarsaw is recovering from jet-lag after her Parisian travels and debauchery, she is thrilled to announce Zaha Hadid's Lilium Tower, the architect's new project to be built in the center of Warsaw, across from the Palace of Culture. More details on NY Times (thank you BCreamy!). I am yet to see an image of the actual tower design.



Sadly while in most parts of the world buildings are created, close to to home yet another construction was tragically demolished in a crane accident. At least person was killed this morning on East 91st Street (and 1st Avenue) when a crane toppled and collapsed onto a high-rise apartment building, just two months after another tragic crane accident on East 51st Street.
