Abstract
The two most interesting, talked about new office buildings in New York both have unique angular profiles and unusual shiny surfaces that have irrevocably changed their neighbourhoods. Jayne Merkel takes a peak at the interiors of Norman Fosterʹs triangulated steel-and-glass Hearst Tower and Frank Gehryʹs curvaceous, white-glass hulk for the IAC/InterActiveCorp. In so doing she sizes up what effect the exotic exteriors have on the spaces where the editors, writers, designers and media executives work. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
