New York Times Building Among More Classy Architecture
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 620 Eighth Ave., Manhattan, NYC, NY. High definition + HDR photos merged.… ✎ The tower was designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop & FXFOWLE Architects and completed in 2007. The 52-story steel-framed (over 95% recycled steel) building has a screen of 1 5⁄8" (41.3 mm) ceramic rods mounted on the exterior of the glass curtain wall on the east, west and south facades. The rod spacing increases from the base to the top, adding transparency as the building rises. The tower rises 748 feet from the street to its roof, with the exterior curtain wall extending 92 feet higher to 840 feet, and a mast rising to 1,046 feet. As of 2010, the building was tied with the Chrysler Building as the fourth-tallest building in New York City and the seventh tallest building in the United States. |
