When I was in New York the building that I would first see out my apartment building was the Hearst Tower, which is a fairly spectacular building to wake up to as a kid. I thought it was fascinating because of how different the base of the building was compared to the rest of the glass tower. The glass tower design itself is nothing to scoff at either with the futuristic triangle construction. I learned this was the case due to the tower being a new addition to a building that was completed in 1928. The tower currently houses the Hearst media conglomerate. I would say this building kicked off my interest in city development. Been watching the New York skyline develop ever since.
