New York Times Building, Office skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, US.

The 52-story glass and steel structure reaches a height of 318.8 meters and features a double facade system with ceramic rods for solar shading.

The New York Times Company selected architect Renzo Piano through a design competition in 2000 to create their new headquarters, which opened in November 2007.

The building includes a digital art installation called Moveable Type in its lobby, displaying content from The New York Times across 560 screens.

Located at 620 Eighth Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets, the building contains 32 elevators and connects to multiple subway lines at nearby stations.

The exterior consists of 175,000 horizontal ceramic rods that filter sunlight while maintaining transparency through the glass inner facade.
