Blue Condo Tower
| Location: | New York, NY |
| Architect: | Bernard Tschumi, New York, NY |
| Contractor: | East End Window Technologies, St. James, NY |
Architect Bernard Tschumi’s Blue Tower is a demanding and complex design consisting almost entirely of compound angles at corners. One corner of the building is defined by the intersection of four different planes. Sloped vertical walls lead to inverted sloped walls, and only one small corner of the building, from the 13th floor to the 17th floor, is a typical 90 degree application. The geometry and visual design of the Blue translated into a project that would be very difficult to build with stick-built curtain wall. Its modest size made it difficult for many manufacturers to justify a unitized set up. AGT kept the project within its budget and schedule with a combination of in-house design and engineering, 3D modeling, CNC manufacturing, factory glazed panels, and a Total Station GPS site survey. | |
