Project :

 

The 300 m height and its 200,000 m2make up a glass tower, headquarters of the Bank of America. This building displays defined vertical lines, that with the movement of the sun and the moon, modify the perception of the building.

Its shape is made in such a way that it provides a view facing south, in this way highlighting its relation with Bryant Park and offering views within and beyond the structure.

 

With its 55 floors, this office skyscraper is considered to be one of the most respectful towards the environment, since it was built mostly of recycled and recyclable materials. Innovative technologies were applied that required less energy, systems to reuse residual waters, a heat storage system, translucent insulating glass to potentiate natural light, a ventilation system that supplies air at floor level, and carbon monoxide sensors that are responsible for renewing the air inside.

In this construction project, the ATR Self-climbing System was used all the way from the structure´s underground levels to the last floor. The ATR self-climbing enables its lifting without the need of a crane, thanks to the incorporated hydraulic system.
