Built Skyscrapers & Buildings | Discussion

I feel that there are many buildings that are completed in New York City and other cities that are completed and not covered by these forums, (buildings that have been constructed and completed before the forums were made) that should be shared. In this forum we can post photos and discuss about already completed buildings and discuss their designs, features, and overall look. Here is an example:

Time Warner Center

One Liberty Place
City: Philadelphia

Was this building inspired by the Chrysler building in any way?

Looks like Chrysler Building’s cousin😅.

Either way, I think Thomas the Philly enthusiast will know the answer about this

A couple notes.

  1. Puts into perspective how thin the 57th supertalls really are.
  2. My god the twins were massive, even compared with the new 1WTC, the original north tower is just so freaking chonky.
  3. Sears tower > 1WTC
  4. The ESB was built in the 30s, the early 30s, and yet it’s still not far behind the behemoths on this list. Such an amazing building.
  5. Sorry Chrysler, but you are just not going to last. 175 is thicker than 1 WTC and has a taller roofline, and 1WTC already makes you look so, so tiny. People are going to look at the future skyline, see 175 dominating, look for Chrysler and someone is gonna say “Oh, it’s the small one off to the side.” You had a good run.
