Urbantech NYC acts as a catalyst for innovation while demonstrating the potential for forward-thinking business, resource development, hardware and software prototyping. Combrised of three main Urbantech Hubs, this city’s initiatives hope to launch itself into a smarter, brighter future for New York City.
Located at 335 Madison Avenue, Urbantech Tower hopes to transform the once dark and massive granite-clad office tower, into twisting twin spires that take Grand Central Tech from an office suite, to a skyscraper driven project. As an incubator for innovation, it was crucial to integrate an open and exposed design to facilitate workflow and promote collaboration. Public spaces overlook the undulating itinerary from below with offices transparent from Grand Central Station. The tower structure extends from the Urbantech envelope with an adjacent tower in response.
