Sony Tower
The Sony Tower (also Sony Plaza, formerly the AT&T Building), is a tall, 37-story highrise skyscraper located at 550 Madison Avenue between 55th Street and 56th Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=sonytower-newyorkcity-ny-usa )〕 It is currently the headquarters of Sony Corporation of America.〔 The building was designed by architect Philip Johnson and partner John Burgee, completed in 1984, and close - in concept - to the 1982 Humana Building by Michael Graves. It became immediately controversial for its ornamental top (sometimes mocked as "Chippendale",〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/chippendale_building_sony_building )〕 after the open pediments characteristic of the famous English designer's bookcases and other cabinetry), but enjoyed for its spectacular arched entranceway, measuring about seven stories in height. With these ornamental additions, the building challenged architectural modernism's demand for stark functionalism and purely efficient design. The effect the building had on the public at large has been described as legitimizing the postmodern architecture movement on the world stage.
The Chetrit Group, which bought the tower for $1.1 Billion in 2013, is converting the tower to a combination condominiums and luxury hotel, set to be completed by 2018.
