美国纽约第五大道505号楼

505 Fifth Avenue,New York,USA

该建筑在结构上使用了加强的现浇混凝土,其建筑安全系数已经超过了纽约建筑标准中所规定的数值。底部一根15英尺的悬臂梁,使首层的四周不需要柱子。它创造的连续玻璃外立面不仅成功地使42街与第五大道截然不同的风格交织在一起,而且为使用者们创造了可以看到图书馆、公园以及整座城市的绝佳视点。

505 Fifth Avenue uses cast-in-place reinforced concrete for a structure that provides a level of building safety exceeding New York City Building Code requirements, The need for perimeter columns in the tower is eliminated and the floor plate configuration allows for a reduced number of columns and a 15 foot cantilever.The uninterrupted, highly transparent glass curtain-wall system not only successfully weaves together the distinct characteristics of the 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, but provides tenants with unparalleled views to the New York Public Library, the Park and the City beyond.
