Comcast Center
A friend of my recently told me about how ridiculous the lobby design of the Comcast Center in Philadelphia was. The lobby has 84 foot-wide LED screens with art installations consisting of views of Philadelphia historic sites, images of space, dancers, acrobats and actors moving around a background designed to mimic wood paneling of the walls of the lobby. Another part of the installation displays images of cranes and machinery forming into a clock which tells the correct time of day The Comcast Center draws many people to the outside windows of their building each day approximately 400 a day at lunch time. What is even more interesting about this building is it the tallest building in Philadelphia, 15th tallest in the U.S. and the tallest sustainable building in the country. The Comcast Center was designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern and the lobby LCD design was created by David Niles of Niles Creative Group.
