U.N. Tower Building in New York City
Design: FXFOWLE Architects
FXFowle Principal Dan Kaplan explained that much of the design work had been completed for a 35-story tower on the site, and while it will not change significantly, it does require some updating, reports the New York Observer.
Following a land deal with New York City, the U.N. is back to work on building a new tower to house its operations across the street from the under-renovation U.N. Secretariat. Celebrated Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki, is back to work on the project, along with local partner FXFowle. The most notable project by Fumihiko Maki in Manhattan, if not the world, is Tower 4 at the World Trade Center (WTC), currently rising downtown. Among FXFowle?s many New York projects are The New York Times Building, where the firm partnered with Italy’s Renzo Piano Building Workshop.
The UN Tower architecture competition in 2004 was only open to Pritzker Prize-winning architects.
