Info
One Landmark Square, also known as Landmark Tower, or simply Landmark, is a 22-story, 295 ft (90 m) skyscraper located at One Landmark Square in Stamford, Connecticut. It is currently the second tallest building in Stamford, after Trump Parc Stamford, and was the tallest building between New York City and Boston from 1970 until 1990. One Landmark Square was designed by renowned Jordanian architect Victor Hanna Bisharat, who designed many other buildings in Downtown Stamford during the city's urban renewal efforts in the 1970s and 80s.Bisharat believed that a building with curved surfaces was more interesting than one with flat sides and straight lines, and that all of his buildings must have "shape, life, and character." He has also said "I am emotional, I don’t feel straight lines...Nothing in nature is a straight line, the bird, the fish, the snowflake. Everything has curves."The building has been described as an imposing tower with a swooping form and scalloped-shaped entrances , also called wings, and has been compared to the TWA Flight Center, designed by Eero Saarinen, and the Cathedral of Brasília, designed by Oscar Niemeyer.
