Manhattan – an endless dialogue. Overview of high-rise buildings in Manhattan in the context of the ideal city vision of Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier

Summary/Abstract: The ideological dialogue between the two crucial representatives of the world architecture: Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, drawn on the basis of lectures they conducted in the 1930s in the United States on the specifics of the skyscraper and the vision of the city becomes an introduction to the presentation of selected realizations built in Manhattan throughout the last decade. The evolution and diversity of tower structures in Manhattan confirms that this type of building is currently the basic unit of highly urbanized urban development and sets trends for the development of highly developed cities. Disputes and discussions about its shape evoke similar emotions as in the case of the mentioned architects.
