Citigroup Center, Office skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, US
The Citigroup Center rises 279 meters with its aluminum and glass exterior, supported by four massive stilts at its base instead of corner supports.
Construction started in 1974 and finished in 1977, requiring innovative engineering solutions to accommodate St. Peter's Lutheran Church within the building complex.
The building represents a milestone in architectural ethics after structural engineers discovered and corrected wind-related vulnerabilities without public knowledge in 1978.
Located at 601 Lexington Avenue, the building contains 59 floors accessed by 38 elevators and includes direct connections to subway stations.
The structure incorporates a 400-ton concrete block on the roof that functions as a tuned mass damper to reduce building movement in strong winds.
