Bunshaft and Noguchi must have collaborated frequently. The sculptor designed a similar sunken courtyard near the Chase Manhattan building and he built the red cube sculpture in front of the Marine Midland Building, both in Manhattan's Financial District.
on my way to adam's drinking happy time with his co-workers, i got very lost... and was happy to stumble upon noguchi's sunken garden. it is quite pathetic how i've never seen it before!
I took this photo on a trip back home to Michigan. I've always loved this fountain and being downtown near the river. Thought it looked pretty cool how the sun was shining through the top of the sculpture.
Isamu Noguchi (November 17, 1904 - December 30, 1988) was a prominent Japanese American artist and landscape architect whose artistic career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward.

article on building by Harris Armstrong
Literally, a couch made of nickels. There were also half dollar chairs and couches. Surprisingly comfortable.
This is ISAMU NOGUCHI's sculpture called "Red Cube" (1968, red painted steel) located in front of Brothers Harriman building (previously HSBC) at 140 Broadway, between Liberty and Cedar Streets in downtown Manhattan near Ground Zero.

...This new exhibition at the Design Museum explores Kahn’s work and legacy through architectural models, original drawings, travel sketches, photographs and films; bringing to life his singular career and diverse output.

In the middle of Sapporo is Odori-koen, an eleven-block-long park. This piece of public sculpture by Isamu Noguchi doubles as a slide for children to play on.
This little one-acre patch of Piedmont Park enjoys a set of playground equipment designed by Isamu Noguchi; the objects range from abstract, Platonic takes on familiar playground typologies (swingset, slide) to more open-ended forms intended to invite children to determine their own forms of activity. The same ideas underlay much of the "adventure playground" landscapes in New York around the same time; one wishes the Atlanta version, like those, extended its manipulations to the ground plane itself. It's a striking, memorable little space nonetheless.
For more background, and drawings, see Alexandra Lange's writeup for Herman Miller.
Isamu Noguchi • model for Magic Chef Building’s Lunar Landscape, cast plaster, paint, plexiglass, and metal attachments, 1946-1947. In the Saint Louis Art Museum collection, Gift of Harris Armstrong.
Plaster model for surrealist ceiling sculpture by Isamu Noguchi. The ceiling plane is painted bright yellow. The portions projecting and scooped from the yellow plane are plain white. The forms are anthropomorphic and suggest an egg, microscopic cellular division, and a zygote. These forms fascinated Noguchi from college studying biology toward becoming a doctor. These forms reappear in his work throughout his career.
