Alcoa Corporate Center (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)

USA / Pennsylvania / Pittsburgh / Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania / Isabella Street, 201
 office building, headquarters
Six-story structure completed in 1998 as the world headquarters of aluminum giant Alcoa. Its wave-form glass facade opens the entire building to the river, the city, and the southern sky. Inside is an open office environment designed to encourage chance encounters and informal discussions.

"We went from a building with 31 floors and hundreds of private, closed-door offices to a much more open environment," said then-chairman Paul O' Neill. "It's a place where people matter. The entire building is your office, and within the building everyone works collaboratively." It remains Alcoa's operational headquarters although the company's chief executives have moved to an office in Manhattan.
