The New York Times Printing Plant
Queens, New York
540,000 square feet
1997

This new printing plant, which is highly visible to a million passing motorists each week, provides a new architectural identity and expands the newspaper's production capabilities. The result of an intense collaboration among the client, the design architect, engineering firms and the construction manager, the design recomposes the typical industrial shed into a series of dynamic building forms, whose volumes are distilled from and dramatize the printing process. Expanses of glass afford views of the presses and of papers threading through the building. Bold colors and graphics enliven the long highway facade, and the skin of the plant employs simple and inexpensive materials in unexpected ways.
