Citigroup Center
New York, USA

HEIGHT: 279m/915 feet
FLOORS: 59 floors
COMPLETION: 1977
ARCHITECT: Stubbins Associates

From the very beginning, the Citicorp Center (today, the Citigroup Center) in New York City was an engineering challenge. When planning for the skyscraper began in the early 1970s, the northwest corner of the proposed building site was occupied by St. Peter's Lutheran Church. The church allowed Citicorp to build the skyscraper under one condition: a new church would have to be built on the same corner, with no connection to the Citicorp building and no columns passing through it.

How did the engineers do it? They set the 59-story tower on four massive columns, positioned at the center of each side, rather than at the corners. This design allowed the northwest corner of the building to cantilever 72 feet over the new church.

In 1978, the skyscraper's chief structural engineer, William LeMessurier, discovered a potentially fatal flaw in the building's design: the skyscraper's bolted joints were too weak to withstand 70-mile-per-hour wind gusts. With hurricane season fast approaching, LeMessurier took no chances. He convinced Citicorp officers to hire a crew of welders to repair the fragile building. For the next three months, a construction crew welded two-inch-thick steel plates over each of the skyscraper's 200 bolted joints, permanently correcting the problem.

I'm going to hi-jack this thread pretty soon, because this building is part of the Tallest 100. I'm moving it to the ROT 100 forum...

[mookiecece]

10/10 just because my aunt works in this building and i've been inside of it so many times haha , I wish she worked on a higher floor though...

[RafflesCity]

8.5/10

I love looking at this one. Its top has grown on me..and its base is so unique too! mookie..whats the interior like?

[Caledon1981]

great tower . . one of my American top 10 . . 9.5/10

[AG]

The base and the way it solved problems that it encountered like almost no other designed skyscraper could get through, surprises me.

It is a bit wide, but the shape that the mass damping system gives to this building is good.

7.5/10

[cgrassham]

Its a very unique building the roof is amazing and the base is incredible 9/10

[Sunflower]

Great building.

8/10 :)

[SUNNI]

mookiecece, your lucky!

[SteelCity32]

interesting...looks like you could point this one out anywhere. 8.5/10

[TYW]

nice building but i don't like the base

[Muse]

Always looks so angry.

Severe.

Ahead of its time.

[Monkey]

Somehow I'm not wild about this one. 6.

[Subdude]

I have always had mixed feelings about this one. It is certainly striking, but it is poorly proportioned and inelegant. The base perverts the relationship a building should have with the street. Propping a relatively fat building up on props (like the strange Ranier Bldg in Seattle) makes the whole thing look top-heavy and disturbing.
They should have followed through with the original idea to put solar panels on the top. 5

[DrumCorpsAlum]

9/10. Beautiful.

[De Snor]

Very bold and impressive tower !

[The Messiah]

A very impressive tower.
I like it allot,the base.The top,i love it all

I'll give it a 9/10

hmmmm..... the interior...... I don't exactly remember so I'm just gonna say it's very modern and high quality haha. There are restaurants, stores, and a barns & nobles bookstore on the first and basement floor. I've seen homeless people come in and chill in the basement too.

[Liz L]

5/10 - the aluminum and glass dance with the light well, but the tower is blocky and monotonous, the shape of the top is not very elegant, and the base - well, i agree with Subdude - it looks like it's walking on stilts, and the effect is unnatural, topheavy, and disturbing - just like, as Subdude observes, the Rainier Tower in Seattle - I have seen a picture of this tower, and Paul Goldberger in his book "On the Rise", refers to its disturbing small base carrying a much larger tower as narcisistic self-indulgence on the architect's part, if I recall correctly. He's correct about the Rainier Tower, and I tend to think he might be correct here as well. Besides, it looks just a wee tiny bit tacky...

[enzo]

The base is spectacular, especially with the church next to it (built as part of the complex). I cannot say enough about how impressive and monolithic the base is, it gets a 10/10 HOWEVER...

The tower is bland, I despise strong horizontal bands of windows on boxes and here they are at their worst, too thin and they make the tower seem much shorter and more squat than it really is. Sloped roof? Great, but since the whole point of the sloped roof (solar panels) was never brought to fruition, there is no "form following function" and it screams failure. Beyond that one cannot forget the fact that the structural design was flawed and had to be quietly damped to avoid a catastrophe after the tower was finished.

7/10

[CTroyMathis]

Well, enzo just stated what I would've said - about the flawed structural design and the whole sloped roof that never became used for what it was planned for. 7.5.

[Steven]

The stilts are cool but the building just doesn't do much for me.

8/10

[Etown Chris]

10/10 one of my favorites of all time.

Here is a drawing I did of it:

[Bobdreamz]

even though there are some negatives to the building as stated earlier, the design is unique in itself and is easily one of the most recognizable buildings in the world..I love the base & the sloped roof is interesting....9/10

[Ptarmigan]

Cool building! Stands out well. :cool:

[dweezy]

10/10 one of my midtown favs.

[Evergrey]

5 It's definately a very distinctive building... but it truly is a failed project... very ungainly and brutal

[airsickpenthousedweller]

Asymmetry could have been translated in a more subtle way....

[TropicalSQ744]

One of the only skyscrapers I really knew since childhood... What can I say.. it sure brings back those memories! :D (I wasn't interested in scrapers last time though) The facade is pretty good and matches well with the blue glass.. I think the base is really unique too :cool: You can't really find any other scraper standing on stilts can u? ;)

9.5/10

[rj2uman]

9/10 What can you say. Another American classic.

[Wisma]

8.5/10

It's already a monument!.

[NYC4ever]

i was so impressed as a saw it stands on just four small
pylons( i don´t know how to call them)
the top is also wonderfull
after ESB and CB its the third beauty of my loved city!!!!!!!!!!!!

[james2390]

nice, 8.5

[Dennis]

damn nice looking tower, for me....the 3rd best skyscraper in the world :guns1:


10/10

[pwright1]

10+

One of my all time favorites. Truely a masterpiece inside and out. Very interesting story on PBS about how it was built, the design flaw and how they fixed it. Even more beautiful up close and in person. 10+ all the way.

[TallBox]

I often prefer great feats of engineering to nice skyscrapers. This tower is average in design, but it's origins and height make it quite nice to look at.

7

[AtlanticaC5]

8/10, it's a cool building, and I've been inside it once when me and my family was in NYC. We searched for a Swedish restaurant called "Nyborg & Nelsons", which we couldn't find...:D

[renell]

7.5/10 hmm.. i've heard a lot from this one. although from those pictures, i dun really live up to my expectations..:( but still i like it

[Wu-Gambino]

Nice base and roof, a bit boring in the middle. I like how it stands out when you see it from ESB.

I like this building, the base is so original, the building was made for nyc skyline: 9.5/10

[Fabio]

Interesting.

[manx_bkk]

The base is the best part of the building, well built above the church. The rest of the building is plain.

[sjambler]

7/10

I don't like the striped look and the way it seems to poke out of the skyline.

[baqthier]

Not that eye pleasing for a tall one. But I like the base. 7.5/10

[johnrosstaiwan]

10/10 one of my Top 20 buildings in the world.Really outstanding and one of New York's landmarks.

I love the entrence section, and the structure is something new, but its to easy, not to mutch to see on. 6/10

[Aquarius]

It is very simple, i do not like it for new york,7,5/10 and i do not like the top part,but it is elegant and different

[matthew_p2004]

overall cool building

i like the top, but the base is a little strange... :D

A classic ! The base is really cool, and so is the top. 8.5/10 :)

[7 World Trade]

rather boring, but the base's aesome. managed to catch a glimpse of the base during my nyc trip. can't wait to see the base close up in the future. good thing they didn't put the solar panals up in the building

8/10

[streetscapeer]

yea

[Schroedinger's Cat]

[Gerard]

Very good one 8/10

[yoyo22]

7/10

strikes me as a very "New York" building. Pretty simple, in a good way, on top, exotic and interesting at streetlevel. Looks good in the skyline, but nothing fantastic. The tradeoff of the base is that it does not mesh well at streetlevel, but in a place like midtown, it doesnt matter to me as much.

[Jules]

I don't like it to much, but it's alright. 7.

[DamienK]

The simple shaft with horizontal windows is perfect for emphasis on the slanted crown and the carved in base. The sleek aluminium panels make the building look almost brand new. 9/10.

[Imperfect Ending]

8/10

I love the sight of that building

[Stratosphere 2020]

7. IMO it so does not fit in NYC.

[Dubai-Lover]

just a box, but i like the white color and the top! 8

[Monkey]

9/10
A graceful, soaring, elegant skyscraper that's tall enough to poke above the main bulk of the skyline. I love the smooth, white, stripey facade - reminds me of the HSBC tower in London's Docklands. The slanting crown is just superb. Definitely one of my faves.

[SChristopher]

5...plain jane

[Zuelas]

The only thing I like about this heap is its interesting base. The top and facade are horrible and IMO it doesnt fit NYC well.

[STR]

+2 for basic design
+1 for the facade
+3 for the plaza
+2 for the tower's base colums

[TPX]

7.5/10

a very "stubbins" design (much like the fed. reserve in boston), I agree with waht enzo said with the slope roof, if they wouldve followed through with the solar panels it wouldve been a much higher tower. the base is a very nice base (bad wording, sorry). the facade is bland, while it looks good up close, it looks so repetitive from afar.

[NYaddict]

i like it 8.5

The base is fabulous... looks so... new yorker.
Despite being a box, I love the lights at the top. Nice building.

here's a photo of the tower during its construction back in 1976!

I used to work on 3rd ave and 54th st..i used to go to lunch in the summer time there...just to watch people go by..and gawk at its tower!! :)

The columns are awkward from street level, but it's not another box. I like the slanted roof and the color, and nice height. Stands out in the skyline.

[get13]

9/10 because of the incredible base,its an engineering masterpiece

[Pengui]

Aged rather well compared with some others of its kind, but that's about all.
Good height, and quite daring, but in a somewhat awkward way. And only the bottom. Still mostly way too boxy and plain.

Looks lovely, one problem... it also looks like a terrorists dream. If a car bomb could knock out that side column it's coming down.

[STR]

^Not really. Citigroup is no more at danger than a normal tower, the only difference is the structural supports are clearly visible and and not obscured by floors, which don't add to the building's integrity (at least this low in a building).

[Accura4Matalan]

[pali]

wow good looking building 10/10

[Whiked918]

8.5 It looks cool but It don't look safe. Possibly the reason it looks cool.

[Gibbzy]

Little boxy but good 7/10.

[homecoming]

Dangerous, but it works. What makes this dangerous is the footing, but it supports the weight anyways, with the wrong designs can be casualties. But, my mixed feelings tells me that I should appreciate the design quality of this building for good standards, partially because it looks a lot like the Canada One in Toronto, and the roof is out of this world. The design below is good, really good. The look of the building is just average. The first picture of the building being drawn made it look amazing, but in real life, its just an average looking building with feet at the bottom. Looks like the designer has tried too hard to design a skyscraper. 5.5/10

[london-b]

Nice box with interesting top. 8/10

[rk_rk]

9 on this one. The bottom is original and so is the top. Really like it.

[jesarm]

not bad building with a originall and innovative box 6/10

[Oriolus]

8.5/10. Spectacular engineering and spectacular appearance. The base and the top are both unique and iconic features and what's in between is simple but sensational. The black vent things and the type of cladding around the top detract from it a bit though.

[Djoez]

[Scruffy88]

Can anyone say NYC icon? Even a skyscraper novice can be shown a pic of this tower and can identify that its NYC. But infamy does not a good score get. 915ft straight up. No spires or antennas to steal a little bit more height. It does it the old fashioned way. Its brawny and unbelievably thick and dense yet playful when you see this behemoth standing on stilts. The facade and strips of windows could be better but this image has been so engraved in my mind and endeared itself to me that I cannot possibly imagine it any other way. Perhaps a modest amout of bias but

10/10

I agree. Met life (ugly) Chrysler (lovely) and this building (sublime) are really the only talls that stand out in the midtown jungle. To be noticed there a building must be tall, which at 279 metres this is by NY standards, and attractive visually which this is by any standard. This is the best post war tall in manhattan and possible the best of all. It's a 9.5 or a 10

Manhattan's density is wonderful but this stands out as a superb building, truly beautiful, in a sea of old tired looking frankly scruffy buildings.

I am always struck by how this building screams "look at me" in any pic of Midtown and it is well worth looking at.

yes, me too. it has something special for me :)

[Beware]

I give Citicorp Center a 10, simply because I'm old enough to recall how " radical " This building was upon completion. It was not only hailed as a clever departure from, tired, late 70's Modernist box wave of architecture. But, It's successful relation to the street level activity... via the plaza base... earned It acclaim. It, also, foreshadowed the following 80's post-modernism wave of architecture. Citicorp Center, like Many before It, had It's day!

What's IN " today ", will be OUT " tomorrow " ! That's Reality. Architectural Design is like ALL fashion. Citicorp Center was something for It's time no different than the skyscrapers of the the 20s, 30s, etc. were for Their eras. Many of Which were derided for being to " flamboyant " with ornamental details. Even today's, futuristic skyscrapers and structures, will within a decade be considered " dated " once the next design trend emerges.

Of course fashion changes and the building will age. Chartres Cathedral would not be built today. The Haussmannian boulevards are dated etc etc.

However this building, while it will age and become dated, will always be beautiful because it is a beautiful design whereas 98% of its confreres will simply be dated and ugly in future as they are current and ugly now. This is one of the top 10 real talls in North America and will always epitomise the best of its era as will 33 Wacker for instance. Fashion is transient. Beauty is eternal. Look at La Sainte Chapelle or Kings College Chapel Cambridge - dated but inspiringly beautiful.

I like the building but the base absolutely ruins it for me. I can't look at it without noticing how top heavy it seems.

:yes: " I'm feeling the same way about Many, current, Skyscrapers proposed and u/c worldwide! Their engineering better be tops or It's ..... :skull: "
