Between
West 57th Street and West 56th Street and Eighth Avenue
New York City, United States
Architect: Foster and Partners
Projected Completion: 2006
The
largest triangles on Eighth Avenue are no longer at the hated
Port Authority but instead a few blocks uptown. Sir Norman
Foster's first US building is for the Hearst Corporation,
a historic American media empire that was founded by the guy
that Citizen Kane was based on. The tower rises out
of Hearst's original 1928 headquarters, originally designed
as the base of a tower that was never built.
