Description
Columbus Circle with the curving base which links the towers (behind in the fog); Time Warner Center is a twin-tower building design, by David Childs and Mustafa Kemal Abadan of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which consists of two 750 ft (229 m), 55-storey twin towers bridged by a multistory atrium containing upscale retail shops. It was built on the site of the demolished New York Coliseum. A multistory cable-net atrium intersects the Center's two 55-story towers. Spanning 30 meters across and 50 meters tall, the cable structure was the largest in North America at the time of its completion. The complex is occupied by offices, shops, a hotel, grocery store, condos, a CNN broadcast studio, and the three performance venues of Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall. There is an entry to the 59th Street -Columbus Circle subway station in the building. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 9/6/2015)
