Most of the highrises in New York are too boxy and made of concrete with outdated designs. Also there is a scarcity of supertalls at the moment, which becomes apparent when NYC skylines is scaled next to Dubai and Hong Kong, although this issue will be solved within 5 years. New York needs more varied architecture to have maintain it's position as the second best skyline in the world. It might lose its place to Shenzhen within 7-8 years from now.
Sorry for the off-topic, but that's the most stupid thing I've ever read in this forum. Outdated designs? Dude, it's called history. If NYC is outdated, then we should demolish the whole Paris so we get a modern city :nuts: Sorry but I prefer most of old buildings like the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the formerly known Bank of Manhattan Trust Building, 70 Pine Street, and even any old building surrounding Central Park or on the Upper East Side, than many of the new projects being under construction or that have been proposed.
Highrises and Supertall buildings are good, I guess that's why we are all here, but calling NYC outdated, boxy and concrete-ish ....that's just lame.
Shenzhen? LMAO, please............
