Der Scutt, 75 , the designer of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City died on March 14, 2010 at his home in Manhattan.
As an architect, Scutt was considered a modernist known for using the mirrored glass wall effect on the facades of his buildings. His redesign of the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan caught the attention of Donald Trump. Scutt used a similar bronzed glass design in the Trump Tower which became a major tourist destination.
In recent years, his firm specialized in recladding masonry building facades by using metal-trimmed glass curtain walls. There are numerous examples of his work across New York City.
