    Remarks: 
    Harry Bertoia sculpted the fountain and Minoru Yamasaki Associates designed the basin. The Plaza was dedicated in 1965. Minoru Yamasaki originally designed the basin to have glass mosaic tile on its bed. The artist's son oversaw some renovation to the fountain. IAS files contain a blueprint of the fountain area, and a related building profile.
