  • Condé Nast Building 4 Times Square
    ABN 25/26 Page 4 Condé Nast Building 4 Times Square By Woytek Kujawski Standing on the edge of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan, this 48-storey building claims to be the largest "green" speculative office tower in the world: Does this building signal the beginning of a new era in high-rise design or can it be Photo courtesy of Fox & considered “green” at all? Fowle Architects Condé Nast is located on the most public place in the world – Times Square in New York City. The building site connects several great and diverse urban spaces including Times Square, Bryant Park, and the midtown business district. Four Times Square’s (4TS) architectural design combines the pop culture of Times Square with the district’s corporate standards. The result is a building that reflects the dynamic environment of Times Square by utilizing metal and glass cladding on north side, while the textured masonry treatment on the eastern façade reflects the serious, corporate context of 42nd Street. The project’s alternate name – “Crossroads of the World” – is reflected by the design of the roof. The massive “high-technology” style structure houses four 20 metre-high signs and a communication tower. Is it green? Sara Hart wrote in Architecture Magazine two years ago that “The future home of publishing giant Condé Nast is believed to be the first comprehensively green skyscraper in the U.S.” Her comments raises some questions about the criteria by which we assess 4TS as well as all other buildings to be “green.” Working definitions of the characteristics that make a building “green” have been developed in several countries.
