432 Park Avenue, completed in 2015, is a 1,396-foot-tall residential tower in Midtown Manhattan designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects. Its minimalist architecture has sparked significant debate, marking it as a controversial yet iconic addition to New York's skyline. The building's design emphasizes pure geometry, primarily using the square as its fundamental form. This approach not only showcases a clear architectural vision but also aims to provide luxurious living through simplicity and proportion while maintaining an open and column-free interior layout for its residents.
It's a building designed for the enjoyment of its occupants, not for the delight of its creator.
The tower's proportions, with its height-to-width ratio of roughly 1:15, transform this simple geometry into a monumental presence.
