Pan Am Building - Concepts & Construction
New York, NY - Franny Wentzel - Friday, March 19th, 2010 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
The apex of mid-century modern skyscrapers in NYC, the Pan Am building was pretty much reviled from the start but it's actually a fairly nice looking building
The initial concept was so much worse
Luckily Emory & Roth let Walter Gropius do the design work...
The ever-so-optimistic concept model
Why yes... we'll build your design Mister Architect
Lets show it to the public and pretend we care about what they think of it.
Nothing says fun like threading though a construction site on your morning commute

nice pictures!! i posted on my photo series, a suggestion that some of us from Citynoise, meet in philadelphia, and divide up the city in sections. 2 people per team would fan out across the city, and photograph whatever comes to mind

Just one more construction photo...
I half expect to see Howard Rourke
looking down from the top...

This is great stuff! Thanks for posting. I still don't understand how they fit that giant building into that space.
