Hearst Tower

New York 2000–2006

Hearst Tower revives a dream from the 1920s, when the publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst commissioned an Art Deco building on Eighth Avenue, anticipating that it would one-day form the base for a tower. The ambition, in designing such a tower at a 70-year remove, was to establish a dialogue between old and new, and in the process create a building with a distinctive presence on the Manhattan skyline.
