Architectural masterpieces of Manhattan
Eclectic architecture of Midtown Manhattan from Gothic revival and Beaux-Arts to Art Deco skyscrapers
Manhattan's architectural landscape is incredibly eclectic. 19th century aesthetics demanded recreating the old-world look, giving birth to a variety of revival styles such as Gothic, Italian, French, German Renaissance revivals, Chateauesque, Beaux-Arts, to name a few. The 20th century produced a completely new architectural vision - that of modernity, technical progress and practicality. We will look at some spectacular examples of Beaux-Arts such as the Grand Central Terminal and New York Public Library, Gothic revival - St. Patrick's Cathedral and St. Thomas, Renaissance Revival, and, of course, the glorious Art Deco masterpieces — 30 Rockefeller Center, the Empire State and — the star of the show --the magnificent Chrysler Building.
