Seagram Building, High-rise office building on Park Avenue, Manhattan, United States
The Seagram Building reaches 515 feet with 38 floors, featuring bronze-tinted glass walls and vertical bronze mullions across its exterior facade.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson designed this International Style structure in 1958 as the headquarters for the Seagram distillery company.
The granite plaza with two fountains established a new standard for urban spaces in New York City, leading to changes in municipal zoning regulations.
The building contains flexible office spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows, featuring gray topaz glass that reduces sun exposure and heat penetration.
The exterior metal beams are non-structural elements added specifically to express the internal frame while meeting fire safety requirements.

Philip Johnson created notable buildings across the United States and Europe. His works include the Glass House in New Canaan, the Seagram Building in New York, and the Puerta de Europa in Madrid. His designs combine modernism with classical elements and shape the skylines of New York, Houston, and other cities.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe shaped modern architecture with buildings across Europe and North America. His structures feature geometric forms, steel, glass, and clean lines. The Farnsworth House in Illinois, Barcelona Pavilion in Spain, and Seagram Building in New York demonstrate his principles of reduction to essentials. His works include skyscrapers, museums, residences, and public buildings.
