office building, skyscraper, 1985_construction, postmodern (architecture)
577-foot, 40-story postmodern office building completed in 1985. Designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates, 200 Liberty Street (formerly One World Financial Center) is connected to the rest of the Brookfield Place (formerly World Financial Center) complex by a skybridge over Liberty Street. It was completed in 1985.
200 Liberty Street has a 4-story lower base, with a glassy, green-tinted, outward-curving entry intersecting the straight lines of the walls. A 10-story octagonal wing on the north side is topped by a sloping copper roof. The skybridge over Liberty Street connects with the octagonal wing attached to 225 Liberty Street to the north. There is also a skybridge extending from this wing over West Street, connecting to the World Trade Center site.
The tower has cascading setbacks at varying floor levels of each facade. It is clad in tan-grey granite and square punched windows of blue-tinted glass. As the building rises and steps back, the windows grow larger at each level, increasing the ratio of glass to granite. It is crowned by a copper cut-pyramid roof.
The building is located across the street from the World Trade Center site and was significantly damaged in the September 11 attacks. The initial dust cloud and other explosions shattered many windows. It was closed for several months and reopened after restoration.
The building is now primarily occupied by the corporate offices of the Associated Press.
