- Rafael Viñoly is the founding principal of Rafael Viñoly Architects PC, a New York-based firm with an international practice. Viñoly’s award-winning designs include museums, performing arts centers, convention centers, and numerous research and academic buildings and complexes. His commercial high-rise work began in the 1980s, and he explored innovative forms and structural strategies in several projects, including the post-9/11 WTC competition, in which the collaborative design of the THINK team for a World Cultural Center was a finalist.
Taller than the rooftop of either the original or current 1 WTC, 432 Park Avenue will top out in 2015 at 1,396 feet, making it-in the words of its developers Macklowe Properties and the CIM Group-the loftiest residence “in the Western Hemisphere.” Exemplifying “the logic of luxury,” the tower's soaring height is predicated on its compact 93-foot square floor plate and extra-high ceilings, which produce its slenderness ratio of 1:15. The emphatic white grid of the concrete frame, divided into six sections by open mechanical floors, represents an integration of the elegant architectural concept and structural logic that sets 432 Park Avenue apart from curtain-wall contemporaries.
Rafael Viñoly discussed the design of 432 Park Avenue in the context of his high-rise work and design philosophy.
There was a Q & A after the talk moderated by Cathleen McGuigan, editor in chief of Architectural Record.

40:50 “you can never see the facade, because if you saw the facade...” what’s the rest of the sentence?
“… you would have not one but two heart attacks.”
@@AndyTheDecember thnx! now that i know the words, i can hear it clearly ;)
10:56 anybody any idea about witch building he is talking.
en is this the book he means: the architecture of affluence, Clairy Palyvou
998 Fifth Avenue, by McKim, Mead & White
But what happens if a plane hits this building?
gontsaru it will collapse just like the wtc towers
People will die,, DUH!!
This building is much too tall. Can you imagine evacuating?
That is the one big issue with living on a high floor in a tall apt/condo building. It's one problem you don't have to deal with in a walk-up apartment building, or even if you're only on the 8th or 10th floor in a high-rise rather than the 50th or 60th floor. Even if there's no fire or structural emergency, what if you were needing to call the paramedics for a health emergency and the elevator was out of order? It's easier for the paramedics to get to you via stairs on the 10th floor than the 60th.
Highrise buildings have their advantages too though, the higher floors are quieter and more away from traffic noise. And most highrises in NYC have doormen security and won't let any non-residents inside the building, or any visitors without the resident's permission that the outsider says they want to see
Basically a sway frame that sways so much it becomes non hatible ... flawed structural analysis modelling, underestimation of the horizontal loads and overestimation of the wind tunnel mock ups accuracy in predicting the actual wind loads ... there is reason behind bracing frames and thar reason is called stiffness ... from Tacoma to 432 everyone who tried to get around that, paid the price ...
can anyone send me the elevator diagrams? appreciate it
i would of cared. I watched to the end.
Too many "ums"😢
Came here looking for dynamic simulation for skycrapers, watched this for a few minutes before I realized this the Carbuncle Cup champion himself, Rafael Viñoly, "walkie talkie dude". Shame on you, Rafael Viñoly ...
