- This is the best of Manhattan Architecture, the most famous buildings of New York City. Let's explore the architecture of I.M. Pei, the NYC Skyscraper that has no windows, and much more.
From Beaux-Art hotels, to French châteaus, to a mysterious windowless skyscraper that can withstand a nuclear attack!
What is the strangest building you've seen in person?
بتوفيق أن شاءالله
Hi
You are great
Your videos are gems❤
Thanks for all of this
You are so welcome!
So glad I came across the video 🫡
Love Architecture.
Especially in New York.
Your youtube channel and content is a blessing to youtube. Im so glad I got across it
I lived in NYC all my life and number 1 blew my mind! Never noticed that building
I love this collection of buildings (with the exception of brutalist, which I hate). New York is an absolute architectural jewel, and boasts such a vast range of styles
New York is a very old city for America. The name it has now is not the original.
Hey I like your content
Brutalism is the same as a turd on a San Francisco sidewalk.
NYC is one of the places that is so creative and advanced and also have so much confidence in having unique architecture.
Are we speaking about architecture or infrastructure? The city actually is sadly behind other world metropolises when it comes to airports, train stations and mass transit systems. Very third world in fact.
@@luissantiago8446 Tell us which third world country so we can compare.
i associate new york city with the beaux arts style. NY has some of the most beaux arts buildings in the world, and some of the best examples of it, too. lots have been lost, but a lot remains. when i think new york, i think grand beaux arts buildings.
Thank you for sharing this Nice video and I am proud to get my hands on some of the historic building restorations starting with
Flatiron building, THE COOPER UNION, THE ANSONIA work for more than 17 years T.H.R the two STATUE that are on top of the Flatiron building. I gave him the termination and other companions in T.H.R
Really enjoyed the video - learned a lot & loved seeing so many fascinating buildings 😃
This was very interesting Ariel, loved it. Btw the edits and music choices 🙏🙏🙏 magnificent
man I'm so happy you enjoyed this!! I'm tempted to make more architecture videos, because its such a pleasure to film it and pair it with classical music
Very interesting! While practically everyone around me has the Walmart mindset, I enjoy seeing the ornate; Especially if it's vintage and of historic significance. 👍 😆
While I was in architecture school, the Hearst Tower has always been one of my favorites in New York City, combining old and new forms harmoniously, creating a hidden gem amongst other popular buildings in Manhattan. Architect Norman Foster is my most favorite master architect, and now that I'm an architect myself, I'm really excited to see this building in person next month and be awed at its grandeur.
A big thanks for also including some other buildings that I honestly did not know of, very interesting historical backgrounds that really surprised me.
Yes! The Hearst tower is a great example of old meets new, done really well. I'm glad you enjoyed this video!
It is a crime he didn't show the inside lobby of the Hearst Tower. It is mind blowing!
As an arcitect have you designed any building in new york?
Great job Guys 💯😎😺
beautiful✨
Nossa senhora que coisa linda 1:26 👏👏👏

I loved listening to the architecture of New York. These buildings add character to New York City. Thank you for the history of these buildings.
Me encantó este contenido y es el tema de la otra semana❤
dude, this video was amazzzingggg. Can you cover all the buildings in nyc? I'd watch every one!
You are the Best!
Very nicely sir I am india ❤❤❤❤
Great video :) some more great buildings to see on next visit.
I inspected 455 West Central Park Ave for the firm I worked for when it was transformed into condos. Amazing building with an insane history. As part of the inspection I remember having to use a geiger counter to check for radiation because historically, radium was used in the building to treat cancer patients.
Did you discover any?
Interesting. You think the radiation absorbed from technical use might be affecting the immediate environment of these buildings? It might be a clue on length of time it takes for air to clear of any type of air contamination that pervades in our atmosphere.
The best video! I adore beautiful architecture! That is what I found the most interesting during my visit to the Soviet Union. The architecture in the various cities brought tears to my eyes . I really liked Leningrad.
What architecture did you find beautiful in the USSR?
new subscriber ❤
NYC has lost so many great architectural pieces over the years. It would have been so amazing if Penn Station was still around. It's one of my favorite places that is gone.

I so much enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing. Your voice was so soothing. I can listen to it all day 😌
Great insght❤
wonderful report / essay on what makes this city so wonderful and bizarre. I love your cynical - spooky style
I like this video!
WHY WAS THIS NOT RECOMMENDED TO ME, RUclips?!
Very interesting Ariel, great work 👍
Assalammuallaikum bang 😊🙏🙏👍👍salam kenal dari Negara Indonesian🇮🇩 abang abang ku
Ah The Ansonia. The most decadent apt building that ever was or will be. Sporting a livestock elevator residents enjoyed fresh eggs every morning as chickens , ducks lived on its roof. With chef manned kitchen and servery on each floor one was.never wanting of food. Live seals in the lobby fountains, round or oval dining rooms and 3 foot walls ensured quiet. I slurry wall heated and cooled its 550,000 sqft space.
Babe Ruth wandered the lobby in his silk bathrobe. Florenze Zrigfield, Sergio Rachmanninof, Geraldine Ferrar, Jack Dempsey residents. The basement Turkish Baths turned into the Continental Baths where Barry Manilow and Bette Midler performed admid the towel clad patrons. By far the largest example of its kind and placed where Broadway turns up at 73/74th ave at Verdi Square. Its neighbour the stunning Apple Bank whos ceiling is a must see while in NYC
James: You are an AMAZING writer!!! Please post more comments!!!!!
Thank you for your comment. I about choked when Ariel Viera said the Ansonia turned into Plato's Retreat! NOT the entire hotel! I'm guessing he was squeamish making any reference to the Continental Baths (memorialized to a degree in the Broadway play, THE RITZ, starring Tony Award winner, Rita Moreno, Jerry Stiller, Jack Weston and F. Murray Abraham. The feature film has the same principal cast). I moved in to the Ansonia in late spring, 1975, renting a 2 room, studio apartment on the 11th floor for $125/month. I knew some of the building's history, but I had NO CLUE about the Turkish/Continental Baths/Plato's Retreat until decades later. In the 1970's, the Ansonia was still FULL of musicians, actors, artists, and designers and you could hear a cacophony of instruments, monologues, arias soaring out of the large, floor to ceiling casement windows on any given day. The place was still heated by very noisy radiators and sometimes, the boiler would be on the fritz and there would be no hot water in the building. It was a fantastic place to live when I was in my late teens, early twenties.
Great video !
Nice views
Semangat bang ku

I'm sure that's not Babe Ruth.
I think it's Lou Gehrig.
yea that's my mistake, the historic footage I found was mislabeled and I should have verified
@@UrbanistExploringCities
I am really enjoying you videos.
Great detail and very informative.
I can appreciate how much work must go into these......thank you.
I spent 12 years with the Structural Engineering firm that designed the addition to the Hearst building.
Fantastic video - Beautiful architecture.
yay thanks for watching this older video!!
@@UrbanistExploringCities i love the older type buildings that show the work of skilled craftpeople
12:00/ Before we get crazy on the conspiracy theories, please note one historical reference regarding this building. AT&T originally built the structure in anticipation of the original World Trade Center. The telephone company understood that many businesses would eventually rent space within the towers. Those companies would utilize the latest in computer and communications technology. It's no coincidence that AT&T already had plans for the site as the Trade Center was nearing completion. David and Nelson Rockefeller made massive investments in revitalizing Downtown Manhattan as a new age business hub going back to the late 1950's. The main thrust was for an already planned World Trade Center. The Long Lines Building was to accommodate the Towers and new office structures to come which needed commercial space and technology to do business. It's easy to go nuts over the windowless aspect of its architectural style. No accident, there. Emerging tech usually operates best in cool, controlled atmospheres. The less heat from the outside, the better. Like going into your high school computer room. AC running to cool the machines. White boards and magic markers replacing old chalkboards that produce dust which could harm computers. That's all there is to it. Hey, if you don't believe me, do your own research. Free thinking, it's not a crime.....yet. 🇵🇷🇺🇸🗽🦂😎
history is wonderful
I 💚 the chrysler building, I think it's the most glamorous building in new york
I love number six building it's awesome
Great video, thanks!
this is an amazing narration!!!
Ariel is the awesome I love this stuff.
Glass and steel monstrosities are soulless structures. Hope Art Deco will have a revival
Enjoyed the video Ariel.
Hello. I am certainly subscribing and your videos are entertaining and very educational. I would suggest, only to make these even more perfect, that the speaker practice the wording a little more since there are uncomfortable pauses here and there. But NOT to be a troll, because these are my favorite videos about my favorite subject: amazing architecture in the best city in the world. Keep posting!!!!
So nice!
Umm, that's Lou Gehrig not Babe Ruth...how do you get that wrong on a story about NYC...blasphemy.
I just watched and so sad! How do you have a history channel and think that’s Babe Ruth! Embarrassing
Always look up 😍👍
Wow!
❤❤❤❤
1. The Castle was literally an abandoned building up to 1994 I believe. That neighborhood itself on the upper upper west side was a drug neighborhood during the cocaine epidemic of the 80s. I have photos of its beautiful decrepitude. I chuckle at how It is now pure high end luxury. I still remember some man asking me "Why you taking pictures of that crack house?".
Have you uploaded those pics anywhere?
The first “song” is a classical piece called Die Moldau, of the Czech composer Smetana
great video
thank you!
Mantap bang aku
Well done Norm@
I have visited your channel and gift a value in your red box. So I think I shall get a very good presentation from you.
¡Gracias!
Muchas gracias! Que bien que te gusto el video 🙏
What a great video! If I visit New York, can you please be my tour guide??
❤❤❤❤❤
*Your recommendation is always top 👍*
👍👍👍
❤❤
đẹp hiên ngang
So glad to see iconic buildings not demolished for a parking garage or a McDonalds corporate box HQ.
❤❤ 0:45
Let me know when you want to put security film on your windows
Nic
baseball guy in picture was lou gehrig, ruth's teammate.
all old buildings are nice. All new ones are guly
My they stand tall until the end of time.
I think about the older buildings that have character, personalities and no steel and glass ice cube trays look. Never liked any of the buildings in the city that have nothing to look at and admire. The Ansonia, The Dakota, The San Remo, etc..now those are beautiful.
😍
🎉
Why is there video of Nashville at 3:36
Not a sports fan eh? How do you mix up Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig?
Toronto had a flat iron building first ;)
Steve Smith and I have seen one in Atlanta too, It’s been many many years did it have something to do with Coca-Cola?
This is off topic; what is the kind of music played around #3:15
wait, Shazam, right...
I think your Babe Ruth video was Lou Gehrig.
Super Mario ❤❤
How did they build that
This was very interesting, but it seems to me that the newer the building, the less 'human friendly' they become.
IM missing the interiours , a shame cuz its a huge part of the experience
Excellent content however, why the quick cuts? Quick cuts have become the scourge today's videos and documentaries. Very frustrating to see something pop up on the screen and then whisked away before you get a chance to assess it.
I recommend watching my LIVE video for long lingering shots of architecture :) as for these vlogs, I get so many complaints if the video feels too slow, hence why I cut this one faster. But I fully get your point, sometimes it’s better to linger :)
Enjoyed the video. *Thanks*
Some unasked for observations:
0:30 small lady with large 'net-a-porter' bag, nice-a
1:42 the Hospital's architect Charles Coolidge Haight could have been influenced by the phrenologist Orson Squire Fowler's book "A Home for All" describing his *Octogon House* innovative ideas. *
3:55 appreciate scratching the disco record
6:00 yeah, B&W Brutalism says it best. Bare interior concrete spaces are unhealthy, bad for the respiratory system. Wannabe Le Corbusier I.M. Pia's recessed windows are solar shading devices more fitting for tropical zones.
6:36 'Bust of Sylvette' Picasso's pony-tailed nineteen old muse is his design interpreted by Carl Carlson Nesjar from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The lines are sand blasted into the slabs. Chicago has its public works piece of Picasso's Afgah dog 'Kabul'. (Pablo 'John Picture' Picasso basically was a sculptor on his way to join up with the German Expressionists stopping off in Paris and the rest is History.)
9:06 Cooper Square and sexy Satie music?
10:34 Jenga building, very memorable from any angle.
12:00 Pink Floyd's the "Wall" fits the AT&T building.
* also reminiscent of a Bornholm Shaker circular barn with a central cylinder.
Templars build similiar circular masonry structures in the Baltic Sea area.
festsange-cordua.dk/?page_id=289
... where the devil cannot hide in the corners.
Michangelo didn't care for dark corners.
Circular structures are common throughout the globe.
Fowler's design called for circular walls but settled for 135 degrees sides since it was easier for the builders.
European city’s are frozen in time? Just the parts that are worth protecting…like ancient city centres and we have a lot of those. We have buildings going back to Roman times.
Anyway, New York is great and I visit it often. I am watching this video because of this. To see what I can admire this time.
The AT&T building is a more correct example of architectural brutalism than the one mentioned in the clip. Another good example would be the National Theatre in London's South Bank district.
💗🐈⬛
Can I translate this video into Hindi language and make my own video?
*that’s Lou Gehrig not The Babe XD
That's not Babe Ruth.
Yo, that’s Lou Gehrig not Babe Ruth haha.

Yep...brutal..on the 👀 eyes brutal on the spirit! Even Prince Charles could see they were a bad idea!
You missed st. Patric cathedral
Hi❤❤❤❤
