Usually takes on the balance of the architectural effort not executed by the "Design Architect," typically responsible for the construction documents, conforming to local codes, etc. May often be referred to as "Executive," "Associate," or "Local" Architect, however, for consistency CTBUH uses the term "Architect of Record" exclusively.

This project addresses the urban context of the Upper East Side on multiple levels, with a carefully composed massing of five interlocking forms. The tower animates the skyline with a varied silhouette shaped by three setbacks. The building program and superstructure are integral to one another. The uses of below-grade parking, base-level medical offices, and tower-level apartments correspond to the arrangement of structural materials. The steel framing of the base spans the massive mechanical spaces that also serve the adjacent cancer research center. The cores of the concrete residential tower above also house the 500-foot (152.4-meter)-tall central chimneys necessary for the medical spaces below.
Designed to attain LEED Silver, the building uses 30 percent less water and is 15 percent more energy efficient than code, while the tower’s 8-inch (20-cm) flat-plate concrete slab was designed to use 30 percent less concrete than mandated. Modifying the superstructure’s slab edge allowed the window wall to be expressed without overly prominent horizontal slab covers, and at 25 percent lower construction cost.
