The New York Times Headquarters by Renzo Piano

A person with the nickname Carlos published fresh images of the construction of the new headquarters of the newspaper publisher The New York Times on the Wired New York website. The author of the 1,140-foot tall skyscraper is Italian architect Renzo Piano. The airy and lightweight structure, featuring a large garden in the atrium, will strive for maximum transparency to its surroundings. In a figurative sense, it will convey that newspapers have nothing to hide from the public, and passersby will clearly see how the building pulses 24 hours a day. The constantly flowing urban life at the base of the skyscraper will be replaced on the roof by a meditative garden as a place for contemplation. The shading of the glass skyscraper will be provided by protruding ceramic blinds. Info>
