LVMH Tower New York : Architecture Information

LVMH Tower, New York 171921, 57th Street, New York, USA 1995-99 Christian de Portzamparc Photos : Wade Zimmerman The project skilfully deals with Manhattan’s building regulations turning them to prevent the massive reflected presence of the IBM tower opposite, while setting a landmark for the city and emphasizing LVMH’ s prestigious identity. The tower soars up to the sky playing with prismatic vertical volumes made out of various types of glass.
