Description:
|
"This building- Gehry's first completed New York project in almost 20 years... houses the new offices for Barry Diller's media conglomerate, InterActiveCorp. Baroque complexities are appealingly absent. A rectangular five-story base, enveloped by a 14-foot rectilinear glass panel system, progressively creases toward the top into a five-bay, zig-zag geometry resembling the business end of a lemon juicer, as 1,500 custom glass panels distort to accommodate this shift. Thousands of tiny white ceramic dots, called frits, adhere to each panel. Like the Benday dots in a Lichtenstein painting, they're dense around the edges and fade out toward the middle of each panel, so the circa $100 million, 550,000 -square-foot building appears crisp and spiky in profile, yet blurry and stripey [sic] on its surface. The angles animate the building from the perspective of speeding cars below and allow for sweeping views from the abundant corner offices within."
