You need a design commissioner, somebody to go out to that spot I was talking about on the Long Island Expressway and make an assessment and start giving fines. I wish people would stop messing around with the skyline. But now there’s this other skyscraper behind it that has kind of a zigzag-y pattern of lights that makes it look like the Chrysler building got fatter. There was nothing better than the Chrysler building. Buildings with satisfying proportions are starting to disappear. If you could sort of just reduce it by 25 percent, it would be all right. It dwarfs everything in a bad way and it makes everything look imbalanced. The so-called One World Trade Freedom Tower. What building or object do you want to redesign every time you see it?

What’s the first job you had in New York?ĭesigning the inside of children’s books at Random House.
We only hang our own work in the living room. But about 10 feet behind my couch is one of my paintings of the United States and on the side of my couch is one of my husband, Seymour Chwast’s, paintings of war. In pure honesty, nothing because my couch is in the middle of the room.
