Saw this and was interested, we've been doing something similar only on a larger scale here at Taubman in Michigan. Check out one of the videos I made on the project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKJ5iE2o4LM&feature=g-upl

If you can get the materials for a low price + make it in NYC then heck yes!
