“Zaha Hadid’s design was the only one besides Foster’s to touch on the building’s actual function as an office. Hadid’s write-up for her 669-foot, 40-story project mentions its “openness, flexible design and technological efficiency.” As for the design itself, Hadid calls it “a structure of timeless elegance, yet with a strong identity that reflects the complex and sophisticated age in which it was created and mirrors the exceptional setting in which it is placed. Our approach has been to unite the four fundamental qualities for the project — Function, Design, Culture and Value — and fuse them into a single seamless design which incorporates these characteristics in a harmonious and unified architectural concept.” We prefer to think of the design with the moniker given to some of the rendering filenames: WHOOSH.” by [Curbed NY]
