The building's gently curving curtain wall of different sized panes of colorless glass - each set in a unique angle sheaths, one of the most meticulously customized. The curtain wall of 100 11th captures daylight differently over the course of the day and the year, which creates variety of different appearance of the building. The surface that seems to brighten and go dark as if by computer program is, in fact, made dynamic by the movement of the Earth. These daily and seasonal changes foster a connection to nature. The dazzling window pattern frames splendid views from within the tower while producing an exterior texture that serves as a poetic analog for the vibrancy, density and changeability of New York City.
