Skyscrapers are no longer unique to the United States, but their history and impact on American Culture once gave us the belief that we held a special place in the world as we reached higher and higher into the vast canvas of the open sky. 9/11 has changed this perception greatly, but the spirit of building taller did not die, it just crossed into other countries. This project was a side project, a 2000' tower on Park Avenue, which would house +2 Million sqft of Office, residential, and hotel space. It was more of a study on how a skyscraper can evoke the power towers once commanded on the American psyche, when they were part of an era of urban romanticism and not of corporate banality.
