Mas: Landmark Tower

los edificios demolidos en NYC o Chicago fueron demolidos en la decada de los 60, período en que lo antiguo no tenía valor,difícilmente hoy se podría demoler un rascacielos de los años 20 y 30.

La época dorada de los rascacielos 1890-1940.
Tienen un valor arquitectonico y artistico muy superior a las moles de cristal posteriores.

Parecía que ya habías hecho todos los reportajes posibles de rascacielos y una vez más nos vuelves a sorprender

Muy buen hilo!
Yo leí en la guía de NY que cuando tiraron un edificio que gustaba mucho se empezó a hacer la ley de protección. Alguien podría poner una foto de ese rascacielos? Está en la lista?
Si alguien me ayuda será repcompensado! gracias de antemano!

6. National City bank Building, New York city, 1928-????. demolished for unknown reasons because I do not know the building much. 433 feet 32 floors:

Si este edificio realmente era de 1928 era totalmente revolucionario!!! y no debió derribarse

PD: Estupendo hilo, Lau

Genial hilo, Lau!!!

La verdad es que había algunos rascacielos que si que merecían ser demolidos xD

Me da mucha pena los más antiguos porque tenían un aspecto sensacional (el singer y otros de antes de 1900)

Empezado por Lau

10. Hudson & Manhattan Terminal (North & South Buildings), 1908, 26 floors
Demolished to build the World Trade Center in the 1960s

Este merecía ser demolido...! Que feo que era por Dios! Mucho mejor el WTC! Suerte que lo tiraron abajo.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo en que el WTC quedaba mejor, pero no creo que casí ningun edificio de los que aparecen aquí merecieran ser demolidos, más que nada por la época en la que se construyeron y porque representan el despegue de la construcción vertical, sobre todo aquellos que se encontraban en NYC

Pero que este es MUY feo! (Al menos para mí)!
