The New York Times Building
620 8th Ave New York, New York
The New York Times Buidling was completed in 2007 for
the New York Times Company (NYTC), one the world's
preeminent publishers and news organizations. The
NYTC occupies 26 of the 52 stories in the 1046' (to top of
mast) tall tower with each level having approximately
32000 sf of leaseable area. The project was designed by
Renzo Piano Building Workshop with FXFowle Architects.
The design's goal is one of lightness and transparency.
The glass facades are covered with 186,000 ceramic rods
which shield the interiors from direct sunlight while also
attempting to reflect colors across the facade. The sun
shade allowed the glass used to be highly transparent
without heavy tinting. The skin is paired with advanced
light monitoring systems that are tied into the artificial
lighting, ensuring appropriate light levels throughout the
day in the office spaces and a level of controllability for
the occupants to ensure higher worker comfort and
productivity.

The structure is primarily steel with a concrete core and
floor decking. One of the key architectural elements is
exposed steel columns, beams, and X braces running on
the outside of the skin over areas without the ceramic sun

shade. For fire safety reasons these do not contribute to
the overall structural integrety of the building. Their
function is more for occupant comfort to ensure their is
not excessive sway in the building during high winds.
