Description
Exterior view, from the southeast corner of Madison Avenue and 56th Sreet; This wedge-shaped building is clad in polished black stone that emphasizes its sheer mass. With a piece of the skyscraper cut away, the corner of the tower is left dramatically cantilevered over the street. There is a glass-enclosed plaza along 56th Street which contains a cafe and a winter garden landscaped with delicate bamboo and other plants.
