Construction photos, released along with new renderings, show that French architect Jean Nouvel's supertall skyscraper in Manhattan has reached the 58th floor.
Rising above New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) at 53 West 53rd Street, the 53W53 residential tower is due to reach 1,050 feet tall once complete.

Pritzker Prize-winning architect Nouvel's design has a tapered shape and a criss-crossing structural frame, which can be seen in the construction photos released this week.
"53W53's sculptural form, progressive yet reminiscent of classic Manhattan skyscrapers, incorporates an innovative exposed structural system, which Nouvel refers to as the diagrid," said a statement released with the images.

At its base, the building will incorporate three levels of gallery spaces for MoMA, as part of the museum's expansion overseen by New York firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro. Future residents will receive MoMA membership as part of their amenities package. Above, 145 high-end residences will range from one- to five-bedroom condominiums, including full-floor apartments and duplex penthouses.

"Because of the building's tapering design and the diagrid, the layout of each condominium residence is unique," said the statement.
Interiors for 53W53 are designed by New York-based interior architect Thierry Despont, and shown in a set of renderings that also includes updated views of the building's exterior.
