Condé Nast’s 1 World Trade Center HQ by Gensler New York
在20世纪的曙光中，以狡猾的音乐大厅和Razzle-Dazzle Electric Lights而闻名的一片曼哈顿中城区，收到了一个吉祥的新房客：The New York Times，在自己的建筑物中，在现在被称为时代广场的附近有一个不合时宜的地方。从那时起，其他出版实体被淹没，使该地区的事实上是该行业的枢纽。Time-Life erected its own skyscraper a few blocks north, in Rockefeller Center, in the 1950’s, countless smaller outfits soon nestled in behind the square’s increasingly riotous neon and digital displays, and Condé Nast took over a glossy new-build tower on 42nd Street in 2000.
14年后，康登（Condé）再次出现，这是世界上最象征性的网站之一，一个世界贸易中心。决定移动传奇属性的决定Vogue，，，，the New Yorker， 和BonAppétit进入1,776英尺高的图腾标志着另一个重生，不仅是一个仍从9/11恢复的社区，而且还为四面楚歌的媒体行业本身。谁比作业更好Gensler，哪个环境的经济低迷，并在上海塔之类的主要项目中反弹了更强大的反弹？yabo app
The project’s vast scope proved a perfect demonstration of the firm’s dexterity at grappling with a complex program: an estimated 1.3 million square feet spread over floors 20 through 44, encompassing 16 print titles and 20 websites with hugely varied desires and requirements—not to mention intense security mandates. Now that the editors, writers, food stylists, and art directors have settled into work spaces with jaw-dropping views, Gensler’s genius is on full display.
Regional managing principal Robin Klehr Avia, managing director and principal Rocco Giannetti, and design director and principal Mark Morton, all based in Gensler’s New York office, repeatedly referenced the skyscraper’s beveled corners throughout the interior, from the guest lobby’s diamond-pattern rug to the diagonally oriented veining of the marble slabs in the 55-foot-high main lobby. Even ceiling grids, scored with linear LEDs, are turned askew to ensure they work with the building’s geometry. Angular shapes serve as a unifying theme, says Morton, who calls the motif “a kind of iconic Condé Nast look.”
That look—aspirational but not gauche, hospitable but still cool—is bolstered by the minimalist-chic palette of stark white (note the cafeteria’s terrazzo flooring), dark gray (tufted leather seating in elevator lobbies, perfect for impromptu meetings), and glossy black (almost everywhere else). But, crucially, such details as coffered ceilings and 5-foot-wide office doors don’t detract from the main event: the company’s famed cultural production. Images culled from its titles are omnipresent. Elevator lobbies boast elongated digital screens programmed to display magazine covers and upcoming events. Conferenceroom walls and fashion closets are cloaked in vinyl reproductions of published photography by greats like Irving Penn. And each floor has a long central throughway that’s equal parts runway, gallery, and sneakily disguised utilities room. “All services in the building face inward, creating an east-west corridor on every floor, with pipes spanning the ceilings,” Morton explains. “We made something of it so every brand has the opportunity to express itself and change the installation to keep things fresh.”
说到新鲜，有35层的自助餐厅 - 通过吊顶螺旋式楼梯从客人入口和图书馆接近，厨师在独立美食站准备羽衣甘蓝和藜麦午餐。克莱尔·阿维亚（Klehr Avia）指出：“我们希望这个空间像个市场。”这意味着要在各种座位上建造：宴会厅的飞地，被烟熏玻璃隔开，私密四锅周围的咖啡厅，以及带有卡拉卡塔大理石的公共桌子。相邻的咖啡吧是咖啡馆以及举行会议，访谈甚至聚会的热点（阴影下降了玻璃展示柜，以隐藏菜单和设备）。克莱尔·阿维亚（Klehr Avia）补充说：“我们再次访问了客户，他被利用该空间的人数所吸引。”“我们现在为该客户做一个完整的咖啡吧。”
Those people utilizing the space are networking and creating, of course, but also enjoying the view. Seemingly every corner has a stunning vista, whether of the Statue of Liberty or everyday downtown hubbub, the slowly-but-surely revitalized financial district included. As Morton says, “All the views are different. And each is great in its own way.” Sort of like the city itself: always changing, always riveting.
