One Bryant Park
Construction has commenced on One Bryant Park, a 55-story office building that will be the New York headquarters for the Bank of America. With 2.1 million square feet of office space and a height of 945 feet–1200 feet to its spire—it will be one of the largest buildings in Manhattan. Although simple in appearance, the structural design was anything but and presented challenges in all of its aspects, from the bottom of the foundation to the tip of its spire. The solutions to these challenges, however, ended up as elegant as its crystalline form would imply.
