(web article)
The outside skin of the building is an aluminum mesh mounted on top of smooth white metal panels. The aluminum mesh shimmers in the light, giving the building an unusual sheen when seen from a distance.
Here is a plan of the building and a building section showing how the floors are offset:
The staggered floors creates a challenge for the structural engineer. The final solution is a complex system of inter-laced beams and columns which handle both the gravity-loads as well as the lateral loads. Below are some structural diagrams (structure by office of Guy Nordenson, New York) and a photo of the building under construction.
