706. Manufacturers Trust Bank


Dear Charles

The Manufacturers Trust Bank branch in NY City 
was  the first bank building in the world to display 
an undeniable open and welcoming image as 
opposed to the previous traditional fortified place appearance. The client's philosophy was considered revolutionary at that time: security through 
transparency and not secrecy.

Because of this innovative approach that took shape 
in a clever and bright form, this building is generally considered as important as other famous landmarks 
such as the Lever House, also designed by Gordon Bunshaft, or the Seagram Building.

Best.
