New York Times Building
One of the most authoritative newspaper in the world, New York Times has moved to their new home early Nov. The new New York Times Building was designed by Renzo Piano, an internationally renowned architect and the winner of the 1998 Pritzker Prize for Architecture. Mr Piano has lots of highly acclaimed projects, but this time, he finally put his first major imprint on New York City. This building is the first high rise curtain wall with ceramic sunscreen to be built in the United States. Adjacent to the garden, a 378-seat auditorium provides a significant amenity to the tenants of the building 856 feet in the sky. Don't miss the spot next time visiting the Big Apple!
