Does your city have any modern skyscrapers that have been inspired by the New York Art Deco era?

Anyway, here's one in Hong Kong,

The Entertainment Building (Central)

wow nice pics everyone

i always wanted to see more art deco style scrapers.

very intresting pic.

The only difference though are these are buildings from the modern times but are inspired by New York Art Deco skyscrapers :)

VERY IMPRESSIVE!!...It's always encouraging to see that craftsmanship is still alive and well..
Thanks for the pics!

I have heard that Michael Graves was inspired by the ESB when he built 425 5th Ave.

Parkview Square Singapore certainly is very much inspired by the Chanin Building in NYC :-)

KBC Tower, Antwerp(Belgium)
height: 97.75 m

Well, it isn't modern as it's one of the first skyscrapers in Europe but hey, it looks good to me. But I really dislike the roof.:(

There's also another Art Deco style scraper in HK which is in Causeway Bay (Russell St.) It's right across Times Square

Here's a couple from Chicago:

AT&T Corporate Center: Built in 1989 but oozes art deco

Nice, Art deco-Chinese fusion!

To me the Art Deco era was the Golden Age of skyscrapers. The period between 1900 to
the 1930s.
We could include the 50s to 70s as a revival, however nothing will beat the grandeur and beauty of these majestic buildings. The entire skyscraper was to be a piece of art, inside out, architects probably had the best time of their lives.
But then again, I'm talking bullcrap

I dont know if this is considered art deco but its my favorite building in San Francisco

It's Art Deco influenced but not Art Deco :)

the only thing i like about the building are the statues. the faceless ghosts starring at the city. every time i pass i cant stop watching in them.

They're the guardians just like the gargoyles in The Chrysle.

^^ :yes: great analysis..

those were my thoughts, but alot of people in SF dislike the statues.

Some say that the new Bryant Pk Tower tends to be art decoish.

Two Art Deco and Art Deco inspired buildings in Singapore

Great World City

Parkview Square

Parkview Square has an Art-Deco feel in it but the other one doesn't!
