#repost • @skyscrapermuseum The Skyscraper Museum's 2021 lecture series, World View: Designing Global Supertalls invites architects, engineers, and building industry experts to explain and reflect on the art and science of the supertall skyscrapers they have designed and constructed around the world. The series explores the history of the supertall typology and its evolution in the 21st-century, emphasizing the global reach of supertall ambitions and the pivotal role of American firms in exporting design expertise.

Times Square Time Machine at the Skyscraper Museum Two weeks ago, the eyes of the world were on Times Square, but how did it get that way? Take a walk through history at The Skyscraper Museum’s exhibition -- Times Square, 1984: The Post Modernist Moment through the end of January. You’ll find out that the crazy, frenetic, chaotic landscape of this town square and its surrounding theaters was nearly lost when the City Fathers and the real-estate community thought Times Square should be “sanitized”. It took wrecking balls destroying several historic theaters to bring activists, celebrities, actors, historians, and preservationists into the streets and paddy wagons to reverse course. The Skyscraper Museum has assembled the architectural models, videos, personal memorabilia collections, and planning sketches to resurrect this nearly forgotten war story The photo above shows the skyscrapers eventually built at 42nd Street
