The RELENTLESS Evolution of The New York Skyscraper - #22

from The World's Best Construction Podcast

This week we're back in the Big Apple to talk about The B1M's latest long-form video; "New York's Chrysler Building is Being Covered Up". Arguably, NYC is the most famous city in the world for tall buildings - but when is it too much? Should there be protected sight-lines to shield historic landmark skyscrapers from being covered up? Are the numerous new proposals any good? We cover it all on this weeks episode! Also in the show we chat about the IQON Tower - Quito, Ecuador's new tallest building designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). Later, we look at the newly proposed Science Centre in Singapore designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and Architects 61. The building is inspired by the forms of the city's Jurong Lake Gardens and features large windows - or "monocles" - that offer views of the lake and surrounding landscape. As per usual, we feature YOUR comments and thoughts on these projects!This episode is sponsored by Red TeamGet in touch! [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
