建筑物的对称锯齿状的轮廓是很容易识别的周围环境。由三角钢框架组成的对角线立面比传统的钢框架结构所用的钢量少21%。同样令人印象深刻的是统计数据表明，在所使用的10 480吨钢中，90%来自回收材料。

The building's symmetrically jagged silhouette is easily recognizable in its surroundings. The diagrid facade comprised of triangulated steel frame was designed to use 21% less steel than traditional buildings of it's type. Also impressive is the statistic which states that 90% of the 10,480 tons of steel used is derived from recycled material.

玻璃和钢的加成坐落在一个六层的铸石基础之上，这是约瑟夫·厄本1928年设计的，耗资200万美元。由威廉·伦道夫·赫斯特(WilliamRandolphHerst)创建，这座4万平方英尺的建筑在最初的设计过程中被指定为一个地标。这座新大楼高46层，占地8万平方米。

The glass and steel addition sits atop a six-story cast stone base, which was designed by Joseph Urban in 1928 at a cost of $2 million. Founded by William Randolph Hearst, the 40,000 square feet was designated a Landmark site during the initial designs of the addition. The new tower stands 46 stories tall, housing 80,000 square meters of office space.

赫斯特大厦是在美国历史上一个非常重要的历史时刻出现的，因为它是2011年9月11日之后建造的第一座摩天大楼。福斯特和合作伙伴对无与伦比的设计的奉献随着每一个项目而变得更加清晰，赫斯特大厦获得了2006年度最佳摩天大楼奖。

Hearst Tower entered the scene at a very important historical moment in American history, as it was the first skyscraper to be built after September 11, 2011. Foster and Partners' dedication to incomparable design becomes clearer with each project, with the Hearst Tower receiving the 2006 Emporis Skyscraper Award as the best skyscraper of the year in the world.

福斯特和合作伙伴提出了他们长长的环境考虑，这导致赫斯特大厦被指定为纽约市第一个LEED黄金认证摩天大楼。导热石灰石铺设中庭地板，覆盖聚乙烯管道，全年循环水，以帮助控制建筑的环境温度。在雨中，水被收集在屋顶，然后储存在地下室。这变成了地板管，灌溉，和大厅里的水雕塑的关键。

Foster and Partners pushed the boundaries with their long list of environmental considerations which lead to the designation of Hearst Tower as New York City's first LEED Gold certified skyscraper. Heat conductive limestone paves the atrium floor, covering polyethylene tubing that circulates water year round to help control the ambient temperature of the building. During the rain, water is collected on the roof and then stored in the basement. This becomes key in the floor tubing, irrigation, and the water sculpture in the lobby.

Icefall是一种三层高的水雕塑，由数千块玻璃板构成，并通过利用再生雨水冷却和加湿空气来改善建筑的热环境。通过自然通风，赫斯特塔在一年的大部分时间里保持在舒适的温度下。

Icefall, the water sculpture that reaches three stories high, is constructed with thousands of glass panels and also contributes to the thermal conditions of the building by cooling and humidifying the air using the recycled rainwater. Hearst Tower remains at a comfortable temperature for a majority of the year by natural ventilation.

另一个降低摩天大楼财务和环境成本的明显方法是优化建筑物内的自然光流量。为了最大限度地利用光线，福斯特限制了内墙的数量，以减少光线。光传感器用于测量自然光的数量，并根据需要自动作出反应。

Another obvious way to bring down the financial and environmental costs of the skyscraper is by optimizing the amount of natural light flowing through the building. To maximize the penetration of light, Foster limited the amount of interior walls so as to block less light. Light sensors are used to measure amounts of natural light and react automatically depending on what is needed.
