Today I am going to be taking a video tour of the New York Times recently opened building. The are a World ranked newspaper and they deserve a building to match. The building is quite large and archetypal. The lobby has three different entrance points and is has an atrium garden. The entire building is almost entirely transparent. the purpose of this is to break down the boundary between the restless world and the newsroom, creating and unspoken connection between the city and its paper. The newsroom and the cafeteria have a very very open floor plan connected by a series of steps.the newsroom is surrounded by buildings on both sides. The cafeteria was built to give the effect of a magic carpet that is flying across the city. The building also has an amazing 360 panorama view of the entire city from the top, lobby, newsroom and cafeteria. This new building is beautifully constructed with much meaning hidden behind the architecture. It almost speaks to the public.
