Lvmh Tower, New York, 1994-1999 (649 words)
Christian de Portzamparc¿s great sensitivity to urban design has given the city of New York a twenty-three storey tower, filling in an old gap on the city¿s luxury shopping street, Fifty-seventh Street.
Portzamparc emphasises the slender verticality of his building with a series of small illuminated glass façades that seem to move forward and back continuously and continuously changing light effects.
Portzamparc has come up with an intelligent response to the lack of building space in New York, adapting his building perfectly to Manhattan¿s building code governing height and volume.
