Arts, Briefly: Swiss Firm to Design New TriBeCa Tower

The Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron has been enlisted to design a new residential tower in TriBeCa that will incorporate a monumental public sculpture at ground level by the artist Anish Kapoor, the project’s developer said. The real estate company Alexico Group, which also developed the Mark Hotel, said a design would be released in the fall. The tower is to rise at the intersection of Leonard and Church Streets, and the sculpture will be fully integrated into the architecture. Mr. Kapoor, who was born in India and lives in London, is known for vast public sculptures like “Sky Mirror,” a convex stainless steel reflecting sculpture that was installed at Rockefeller Center two years ago. Herzog & de Meuron’s many projects include the new national stadium for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the Tate Modern museum complex in a former power station at Bankside in London, and an expansion of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
