Do you mean modern or contemporary ?
I'd say we make the best skyscrapers right now, so supermodernist /neofuturistic skyscrapers
Josiah Torres
it's old art deco before modernists ruined the movement . The 30s nyc skyline was all traditionalist art deco
Evan Hernandez
ask question
get answer
what more do you want? it's not that interesting of a thread
Jacob Clark
Yeah but I miss concrete
Easton Rivera
Art Deco is a style
Jayden Barnes
nyc in the 30s is so sexy. It still is sexy but in the 30s it looked more impressive compared to another city. Now it's no longer special
Landon Cook
you are retarded lad
Elijah Robinson
like this?
Evan Martin
holy shit what an eysore what did europoors mean by that
Joseph Sanchez
I actually like the burj
Parker Garcia
those are some pretty cool buldings
Tyler Ward
it's impressive but not beautiful
Josiah Ortiz
Tyler Kelly
what does Sup Forums think of the new world trade center
Carter Lee
I think the ArtDeco style is the best. But would you rather live inside an older building, with small windows; or a modern building, where the entire wall is a window?
Nicholas Jackson
i think it's pretty :3
what happened to the other buildings that were gonna get built?
Adam Williams
It would look fine without that terrible spire
Brody Price
mediocre glass/steel body. horrible spire on top that looks like it's still under construction.
Samuel Perez
?? That's from the 70s and its gonna het renovated by AOM
Jordan Nelson
Complete shit. Dull shape. Songdo skyscraper ripoff actually. 2000s cladding. Tacky and horrendous cheating spire. It doesn't do justice to the twins at all.
Brody Fisher
Pretty lame considering what it's supposed to represent but I like how it reflects the city around it
Aiden Hernandez
I already live in a room where the entire wall is a window. I keep the curtains drawn almost 24/7, because there are no blind-spots to hide my computer monitor.
Jacob Foster
Twin towers were much uglier than the OWTC tho
Ryan Jenkins
the jew is right
Alexander White
I actually love that tower
Brandon Young
Everyteim
Liam Barnes
I like it in certain contexts. but if you just focus on the building, and ignore its surroundings, it's not great.
Jason Sanders
I'd rather live in an older building but with somewhat taller windows. I wouldn't feel comfortable living in a glass box
Asher Wilson
The 1WTC is a lifetime supply of vanilla ice cream. It's fine and good, whatever, but we could have used the opportunity to make something far better/more interesting/more iconic.
Also for OP, new skyscrapers can look good, it's just that the vast majority of developers today (in the US) don't give a fuck and just want to maximize profit. This one going up in Brooklyn is pretty fucking cool-looking, though
Samuel Long
seems like developers care more about the people who will live/work inside, than the city's aesthetic.

I miss the twin towers
Adam Ramirez
The twin towers were fucking eyesores
Sebastian Jenkins
The tower is a monstrosity but the view sure is nice.
What does an appartment cost there? 7-digit probably.
Alexander Stewart
the twin towers were ugly, though
Nolan Hernandez
>probably
Lol Im pretty sure the one with that bathroom view is 100 million
Michael Nelson
