The Architecture of Bloomberg L.P.
[entry-title]

013                                                                                                         “Beautiful,” “large,” “amazing” were all words my friends used to describe the Bloomberg building. But when I turned around the corner and saw the building with my own eyes, the only word I could use to describe it was “wow.”

Yesterday, I, along with about 50 other students from CUNY colleges, had the pleasure of going to Bloomberg L.P.’s headquarters on 731 Lexington Ave. for an informative session and a tour.

003Aside from the important information I gained  about potential opportunities at Bloomberg and the connections I made during my visit, I learned about how a professional business can use architecture to support its mission.

Similar to how the high stairs at the entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art symbolizes that 004the artwork and the information in the Museum is exclusive to those who have money, the internal architecture of Bloomberg emphasizes its mission to make dynamic networks of information available. The architecture is    almost exclusively white, a color that symbolizes clarity. I010nformation ranging from current stock price changes to what floor a person is on is made easily noticeable.
