This is a great tower, those pictures don't do it any justice!
Take a square column, slice off a large wedge facing southwest, cut away a chunk from the base facing northeast and add a saw-tooth skylight atrium on its southwest side and you have the basic form. The photograph above, taken from the 56th Street entrance of Sony Plaza, shows the roof of the atrium, the former IBM Building on the right, and the rear of Trump Tower on the left.

Then fill the atrium with huge bamboo trees, finish everything finely with rich materials, add the finest general-purpose museum space in the city in the basement, connect the atrium to the adjacent Trump Tower atrium and you have the 43-story building that formerly was known as the IBM Building before that company sold it to its present owners.

DecoJim December 18th, 2005, 06:13 PM Its a typical modernist box with one corner cut off. Every floor (except the first) is identical to any other.
