The IAC Building
Designed by Frank Gehry, completed in 2007, the IAC (Inter Active Corp) headquarter in New York is located at 555 W. 18th St. on the northeast corner of Eleventh Avenue in Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.
Reminiscent of other Gehry designs, the building appears to consist of 2 major levels: a large base of twisted tower-sections packed together like the cells of bee hive, with a second bundle of lesser diameter sitting on top of the first. The cell units have the appearance of sails skinned over the skeleton of the building. The full-height windows fade from clear to white on the top and bottom edges of each story. The overall impression is of two very tall stories, which belies its actual 10 story structure.
