Why not a Michael Graves cell phone tower?
When I worked in the New York suburbs in the 90s, the hot battle was over cell phone towers. Nothing’s changed. And my guess is calls still drop when driving the Hutch through Scarsdale.
Cell providers should host a competition among the world’s signature architects to come up with new cell tower designs. They’re sure to come up with something more interesting than “spindly, metallic and freakishly tall antennas” that are “sometimes disguised as fir trees, cacti or flagpoles.”
Why not a Michael Graves cell phone tower? Imagine what Frank Gehry would come up with. I bet Scarsdale could be persuaded to put up one of theirs.
