The large 9 sculpture designed by Ivan Chermayeff of Chermayeff & Geismar, the NY based branding & graphic design firm. The sculpture was created in response to complaints that the buildings front sloping glass reflection ‘revealed unappealing sides of the neighboring historic buildings’.</p> <p><em><a
