Product Description
Synopsis
The city of New York is the city of skyscrapers. Every visitor to Manhattan experiences the awe of gazing up at the soaring towers of Wall Street or Midtown, and wonders how they came to be built. This book answers this question, presenting 75 of the most significant buildings in the skyline. From Louis Sullivan's Bayard-Condict building of 1898 to the Conde Nast tower rising above Times Square, this book presents over 100 years of New York's most interesting and important tall buildings. It profiles familiar skyscrapers such as the Woolworth Building, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the World Trade Towers, the AT&T Building, and the Seagram Building, while also championing several often-overlooked yet significant structures, such as the McGraw-Hill. For each building, the author identifies the building style, the overall profile and image, and discusses its construction as well as presenting quotes from the buildings' architects.
