About 945 Madison Avenue
945 Madison Avenue, also called the Breuer Building, once the Whitney Museum Building, sits at the southeast corner of Madison Avenue and 75th Street, on the Upper East Side in Manhattan, New York City. Construction ran from 1964 to 1966, and it was the Whitney Museum of American Art's third home. The primary architects were Marcel Breuer and Hamilton P. Smith, with Michael H. Irving consulting and Paul Weidlinger as structural engineer.
The five-story building was Breuer's first museum commission, and nothing else by him survives in Manhattan. It is usually described as Modernist and is often called Brutalist. Its exterior faces are variegated granite and exposed concrete, in stark angular shapes. Floors reach out farther as they rise above the entryway, a form compared to an inverted ziggurat. Six rowhouses from the 1880s once stood on its site, which covers 1,200 m2 (13,000 square feet).
After the Whitney left in 2014, the building was leased in 2016 to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which ran it as the Met Breuer until 2020. From 2021 to March 2024 it served as the Frick Madison, a temporary home for the Frick Collection. Sotheby's bought the building in 2023. The facade and some interior spaces carry New York City landmark designation.

- Overhanging upper floors
- The upper floors step outward over the entry side, and angled window boxes stick out of the walls. "Print friendly" adapts these projections to the print scale; "Full detail" keeps them for a larger print.
- Roof-level details
- The roof has small stair and equipment blocks. A larger print size keeps them distinct; a layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm helps their edges stay sharp.
- One piece with the ground
- 945 Madison Avenue is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. 945 Madison Avenue takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
