One Landmark Square, also known as Landmark Tower, or simply Landmark, is a 22-story, 295 ft (90 m) skyscraper located at One Landmark Square in Stamford, Connecticut. It is currently the third tallest building in Stamford, after Park Tower Stamford and Atlantic Station, and from 1970 to 1990 was the tallest building on the coast between New York City and Boston.[2][3] It is currently the tallest office tower in Stamford. One Landmark Square was designed by Palestinian architect Victor Hanna Bisharat, who designed many other buildings in Downtown Stamford during the city's urban renewal efforts in the 1970s and 1980s.[4]
Bisharat designed the building after his own aesthetic preferences. [5][6] It has been described as an imposing tower with a swooping form[7] and scalloped-shaped entrances,[8] and has been compared to the TWA Flight Center, designed by Eero Saarinen,[7] and the Cathedral of Brasília, designed by Oscar Niemeyer.[9]
