    Time Out New York / Issue 628 : Oct 11–17, 2007
    Sights & Blights

    Architecture: Sights

    We chose some dependable, predictable greats (we know, you saw these coming from a mile away—literally), and the somewhat less expected structures we hate. Oh, and it wasn’t an accidental omission of the ESB, in case you were wondering.

    Sights

    1 Chrysler Building
    2 Woolworth Building
    3 Brooklyn Bridge
    4 Flatiron Building
    5 Hearst Tower
    Sights 6–10


    Flatiron Building

    At 20 stories, this triangular wonder—which is also known as the Fuller Building—was the city’s first skyscraper upon its completion in 1902. Thanks to a photo of it snapped by Alfred Stieglitz the year after it opened, it became an instant icon—and has remained so.

    View all of our architecture picks on a Google map.

      This is my favorite building, unfortunately whenever I get inside I am turned back by Security, a bit dissapointing after flying from Australia.

      The architectural sage of Oak Park, IL, was certainly a genius (a fact of which he was well aware, and never neglected to remind others) and Fallingwater is a monument to Modernism. But the Guggenheim, I'm sorry, looks like a tiered toilet bowl. As the editors of Mad magazine would have said in the old days, "Yeccch!"
