60 Water Street

60 Water Street is a 17-story mixed-use building in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn in New York City.[1][2] Designed by Ismael Leyva and Leeser Architecture, the mixed use building is located right next to the Brooklyn Bridge and features many sustainable considerations. The building envelope design uses pattern at two scales to enliven the surface of the residential tower project. Finished in Spring 2015, the building utilizes its staggered towers to create green features including a low-intensive green roof and a garden roof deck overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge.

Awards

2014 Asia Property Award for Best Commercial Architectural Design.

gollark: People are not idiots, and realized that that could be an issue, so there's work on designing asymmetric encryption schemes (symmetric is mostly safe as far as I know, except for Grover's algorithm) which cannot be broken by quantum computing.
gollark: Which breaks RSA and elliptic curve stuff.
gollark: Quantum computers *cannot* do anything ever a trillion times faster, or something ridiculous like that; they can accelerate some algorithms, for example factoring integers fast and something something discrete logarithm problem.
gollark: There are post-quantum schemes already, they're just annoying and not standardized yet.
gollark: What? No.
