Piano Floods Gray Monolith for New York Times in Gorgeous Light
Bloomberg
The Times gave up its white terra-cotta chateau-style headquarters just west of Times Square to take 26 floors of the tower it built with developer Forest City Ratner Cos.
Bloomberg's reviewer, James S. Russell, can't find enough nice things to say about Bruce Ratner's latest building, for example:
The building is almost prim at street level, in contrast to the belching crudeness all around.
....
Light is Piano's favorite raw material, and he conjures the most beautiful light I have ever seen in an office building.
