Seagram Building
The Seagram Building is a bronze and glass office tower of 1958 on Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe with Philip Johnson, set back behind a granite plaza.
Why it matters
Included for the plaza rather than the tower: setting the building back from Park Avenue was novel enough that New York rewrote its zoning to encourage it, with results visible along the whole avenue.
