One57: blog 4

My last blog is on one of my favorite residential spaces in New York. It’s called One57 on billionaires row conveniently located one block away from central park. Nearly all the units overlook central park and the great city of New York. The design is quite remarkable with all glass walls surrounding the buildings units with 360 degree views, this is the place to be.

The White House: Blog 3

My third blog would have to be a positive influence as well. The white house is absolutely remarkable. The symmetry creates the image of perfection and the security ensures it is an extremely important place. The White House is the U.S. President’s official residence and workplace. It is located in Washington, D.C. at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. And since John Adams in 1800 it has been the home of every U.S. president. For the president and his aides, the word “White House” is often used as a metonym.

Positive influence: Blog 2

The second place that has positively influenced me, is the Colosseum in Rome. This place is absolutely remarkable. The little detail still remains to this day. Although it is not in the same condition as hundreds of years ago, you still can visualize the wealthy kings of Rome running this empire.

Positive influence with building: blog 1

The first building that has influenced me in a positive way is the Sagrada Familia.  I had an incredible experience when I visited this church with my family. It is so much more than pictures or words can describe in person. The pillars are designed to have the effect of a forest supporting the gigantic roof. The Sagrada is still under construction.

BOK Park Plaza will provide unrivaled luxury Class-A office space for the critical business sector of the city as the first ambitious office building in Oklahoma City in 30 years. The shape of the tower responds to and represents the distinctive architecture of the neighboring Devon Energy Center and Devon Auditorium (both designed by Pickard Chilton) and maximizes site views.

John Pickard: Petronas Towers (Post 2)

The Petronas Towers located in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia. In 1996, the twin 88-story Petronas Headquarters Towers are recognized as the world’s highest buildings and have become the international icon for Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia since. Kuala Lumpur City Centre, a forty-hectare development in the heart of the commercial district of the city, focuses on the buildings. The two buildings, connected by a skybridge at the midpoint, create a monumental urban garden.

The Uber Sky Tower, which is soon to be in the center of Los Angeles, California is something our world never saw coming. With over 1,000 Uber aircrafts landing and departing every hour, our would is about to change whether we want it to or not. With this tower, travel is going to become more efficient and the world will become a more environmentally friendly place to live.

Vessel // Hudson Yards

This is the Vessel in Hudson Yards. I chose this building because it has inspired me in many ways. Thomas Heatherwick is the architect of this architectural masterpiece located in the middle of Hudson Yards in New York. The vessel was designed to give back to the city of NY, allowing people to freely explore their city from a different perspective. On top of the incredible design, the location couldn’t be better. Located right next to SoHo, Hudson Yards has lots to offer for those looking to explore the city.
