Alberto Giacometti - ‘Walking Man II’, 1960

58th between Lex and 3rd

Nothing fancy, but I thought the layout of these three staircases was unusual

Formerly known as the Bank One Tower and One First National Plaza, it was renamed Chase Tower in 2005.

The sloped design made me think it was designed by the same architect as the W.R. Grace Building in NYC (Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill), but its architects were C.F. Murphy Associates and Perkins and Will.

Edit: I goofed on the title

If these buildings, which are primarily used for affordable housing, remind you of Marina City in Downtown Chicago, it’s because they were also designed by Bertrand Goldberg.
