Durst Organization

The Bank of America headquarters will soon join the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings as one of Manhattan’s tallest skyscrapers. The sign program draws on the cultural and commercial character of Bryant Park, defining an oasis of form over the busy square. As Manhattan’s “greenest” skyscraper, signs will be crafted from recycled materials and utilize energy-efficient lighting. The selection of classic, modernist lettering style and elegant graphics make the sign system distinctive within the Bank’s headquarters, throughout the restored Henry Miller’s Theatre, and the lofty pedestrian arcade that links the two properties.

The project is being planned in collaboration with Bank of America and Cook + Fox Architects.
