福特基金会在曼哈顿是不寻常的，因为它占用的面积比网站允许的要少。建筑师们没有设计一个较短的建筑来覆盖整个场地，而是破坏了现有的天际线，而是利用了多余的空间。这些办公室只占用了场地的一部分，其余的专门用于温室式中庭内的室内花园。茂盛的植被和广阔的空间为工人提供了一个焦点，也为基金会和城市提供了一个接口。

The Ford Foundation is unusual for Manhattan in that it occupies fewer square feet than the site allows. Rather than designing a shorter building to cover the entire site but break the existing skyline, the architects took advantage of the excess space. The offices occupy only a portion of the site, with the remainder devoted to an interior garden within a greenhouse-like atrium. The flourishing vegetation and generous space provide a focal point for the workers and an interface between the Foundation and the city. 

这家公司最初占据了一座传统办公大楼的11层，楼层之间相对隔离。为了营造一种社区感，罗氏和丁克洛以C组的形式安排了新的办公室。所有的住户都能看到整个花园，从玻璃墙和头顶天窗提供的自然光中受益。较低的楼层是退一步，以创造露台俯瞰花园，从每个办公室通过滑动玻璃门进入。虽然同事们在内部的外观上互相了解，但个人的办公室却迷失在重复单位的组成中，为其居住者提供隐私和匿名。

The company originally occupied eleven stories of a traditional office building, with relative isolation between floors. Wishing to create a sense of community, Roche and Dinkeloo arranged the new offices in a C formation. All occupants are able to see each other across the garden and benefit from the natural light offered by the glass walls and skylight overhead. The lower floors are stepped back to create terraces overlooking the garden, accessed from each office through sliding glass doors. While coworkers are aware of each other on the interior facades, the individual office is lost in the composition of repeated units, offering privacy and anonymity to its occupants.

在桥梁和公路建设的启发下，这种简单的结构由承重混凝土和耐候钢组成。钢梁跨越84英尺，解放了南部和东部的正面。十层高的玻璃墙从柱子上向后倾斜，消除了内部和外部的区别.这座花园通过高耸的透明墙向公众开放，在42街创造了一个视觉上开放的空间。主要入口位于43街，其特点是规模较小，居住面积较小。钢屋顶桁架镶嵌玻璃，形成一个复杂的，棱镜天窗。

Inspired by bridge and highway construction, the straightforward structure is composed of load-bearing concrete and weathered steel. The steel beams span 84 feet, freeing the south and east facades. Ten-story glazed walls are set back from the columns, dissolving the distinction between interior and exterior. The garden is visible to the public through the towering, transparent walls, creating a visually open space on 42nd Street. The main entrance is located on 43rd Street, characterized by a smaller, residential scale. The steel roof trusses are inlaid with glass, forming an intricate, prismatic skylight.

这种结构混凝土覆盖在南达科他州花岗岩中，将福特基金会与其背景联系在一起。这块石头的灰色和紫色，以及风化钢的红棕色构成了一个调色板，与周围的建筑融合在一起。在室内，工业材料与亚热带花园的明亮绿色形成鲜明对比。

The structural concrete is clad in South Dakota granite, relating the Ford Foundation to its context. The stone’s gray and purple hues and the reddish brown of the weathered steel form a color palette that blends with the surrounding buildings. On the interior, the industrial materials contrast with the bright green of the subtropical garden.

福特基金会受到建筑界的广泛赞誉，包括评论家AdaLouiseHuxtable，并为罗氏在1982年获得普利茨克奖做出了贡献。凯文·罗氏·约翰·丁克洛和合伙人在纽约市完成了几个标志性项目，包括大都会艺术博物馆和联合国广场。这两个项目都是罗氏最近在纽约市博物馆展出的作品。

The Ford Foundation received wide acclaim from the architectural community, including critic Ada Louise Huxtable, and contributed to Roche winning the Pritzker Prize in 1982. Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates completed several iconic projects in New York City, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the United Nations Plaza. Both projects were featured in a recent exhibition of Roche's work at the Museum of the City of New York.
