IAC Building revisited - New York

Our latest trip to New York City and Manhattan once again lead us to Chelsea and I couldn't resist revisiting the IAC Building. On our first visit I didn't have much time as it was very cold and windy then. This time I could really enjoy this building, its shapes and I was really fascinated by how different those glass panels can look when the light or your position changes.

 

IAC or InterActive Corp is an American media conglomerate with over 60 brands.

The building is a uniquely shaped design by architect Frank Gehry based on a concrete superstructure with tilted supporting columns and an exterior made out of more than 1400 glass panels most of which are unique in their shape and degree of twist. It’s the first Frank Gehry design constructed entirely of glass and the building is the first Gehry designed office building in New York City. It was built between June 2004 (groundbreaking) and March 2007 (construction completed).

 

Not necessary but maybe you would like to have a look at it in Large
