THE CONDE NAST BUILDING at 4 TIMES SQUARE
New York, NY
Client: The Durst Organization
Completion: 1999
Area: 1,600,000 sf
The first tower of the 42nd Street redevelopment project, FXFOWLE's Condé Nast Building embraces the essence of Times Square while meeting the needs of corporate tenants. A varied composition of interlocking, set-back forms and façade treatments respond to the diverse scale and character of the neighboring buildings. As the building rises, a collage of volumes, surfaces and super-scaled signage draws vitality from the street and evolves into an integrated composition, culminating in a highly-energized final. All building systems and construction technology were evaluated for their impact on occupant health, environmental sensitivity, and energy reduction, making this the first project of its size and type to adopt state-of-the-art standards for energy conservation, indoor air quality, recycling systems, and the use of sustainable manufacturing processes. This project received numerous commendations, including an Honor Award from The American Institute of Architects.
