We believe that research-driven experimentation gives birth to the most inventive\u2014yet attainable\u2014built forms. A lack of client does not translate to a lack of impetus; youth does not always equal inexperience; and an absence of precedent does not mean a tower cannot be built. By positioning ourselves as our own client and developing designs of projects for which we have yet to be hired, PARTISANS is taking a strategic approach to theoretical architecture. <\/p>\n<p>Riffing on the ubiquitous promise of \u201cdisruption,\u201d Glitch Tower literally interrupts the normative rectilinear typology that dominates skylines around the world. Advanced engineering and fabrication techniques allow the tower to embrace unexpected irregularities or disturbances and convert a punitive imperfection into a hallmark architectural form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":415,"template":"","project_type":[19],"project_location":[36],"class_list":["post-508","project","type-project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project_type-mixed-use-residential-office-and-retail","project_location-new-york"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Glitch Tower | PARTISANS Architecture<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PARTISANS&#039; Glitch Tower challenges high-rise norms with a research-driven mixed-use tower that transforms architectural imperfection into bold form.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Glitch Tower | PARTISANS Architecture\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PARTISANS&#039; Glitch Tower challenges high-rise norms with a research-driven mixed-use tower that transforms architectural imperfection into bold form.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"PARTISANS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-04-27T21:18:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/000_medium.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"911\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1125\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/\",\"name\":\"Glitch Tower | PARTISANS Architecture\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/000_medium.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-06-22T21:43:09+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-04-27T21:18:05+00:00\",\"description\":\"PARTISANS' Glitch Tower challenges high-rise norms with a research-driven mixed-use tower that transforms architectural imperfection into bold form.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/project\/glitch-tower\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/000_medium.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/partisans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/000_medium.jpg\",\"width\":911,\"height\":1125,\"caption\":\"A PARTISANS-designed tower concept dominates the Manhattan skyline, its sinuous midsection contracting dramatically between two stacked rectilinear glass volumes.
