Business & Design Photos

1) is theater at NYTimes Center. The architects talked about the theme of transparency. Here you can see all the way through the garden, through the NYTimes lobby onto 8Th Ave.

2)is David Thurn, VP and CIO of NYTimes. He talked about the importance of design in space and how the transparency of the space translates to employees and the NYTimes brand. He's an attorney and an old time corporate guy -- and out of his mouth came these words: Design matters because it can propel what you do as a business.
































3. To make their signage, the interior graphics company -- Pentagram -- went through the NY Times archives to find iconic photos that would embody the names on the sign. This one made me laugh. It is the sign going out to the NYTimes balcony.
