== Design == Foster + Partners, the London-based firm led by Norman Foster, designed a tower that combines sleek contemporary aesthetics with technical innovation. The building's glass curtain wall presents a unified surface that reflects sky and city, its transparency creating lightness despite the building's enormous scale. A distinctive notch near the top marks the Four Seasons Hotel's sky lobby, providing public access to views that only the building's height can offer. The tower tapers subtly as it rises, reducing wind loads while creating an elegant silhouette.<ref name="foster">{{cite journal |title=Comcast Technology Center |journal=Foster + Partners |year=2018}}</ref> The building's most innovative feature is its natural ventilation system, which allows office floors to draw fresh air directly from outdoors under appropriate weather conditions. Operable vents in the facade, combined with sophisticated controls that monitor temperature and air quality, reduce reliance on mechanical air conditioning while improving indoor air quality. This system represents one of the most ambitious natural ventilation implementations in a North American high-rise.<ref name="gallery"/>
