NY Hearst Tower

[DanSto]

The Hearst Tower in New York is a very nice combination of an Art Deco stone building and a modern tower built on it base on a triangular structure ( http://www.fosterandpartners.com/projects/hearst-tower/ ).

In this MOC, the triangular structure is suggested using the equilateral Road Sign triangular part but, because the triangles of the real tower are not equilateral, I have introduced more levels.

Thanks.

A view of the inside exhibiting the 1x1 bricks with handle and the 1x2 plates with handle for the main sides, the 4L bars around the corners and the way the triangles are fixed in the corners.

This building is a personal favorite, and you've re-created it's unusual form with incredible skill.  Amazing work, thanks for sharing.
