Bloomberg Building
Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects deign is distinguished by Beacon Court — a dramatic, mid-block outdoor public space that contains multiple formal entries and a porte-cochere. Elliptical in plan and conical in form, Beacon Court is clad in a structural glass curtain wall supported by an external stainless steel tube and cable system. Initially created to reconcile conflicting programmatic and traffic concerns, Beacon Court evolved into a formal yet inviting urban “room” — an elliptical cone of glass that envelops the visitor.
