Skyscraper National Park: Postmodernism in the East 50s

[In-person tour] The East 50s contain a memorable cluster of Postmodern icons.

We’ll consider what made Postmodernism so appealing to American corporations in the 1980s and how the reintroduction of masonry and conspicuous crowns helped these once-trendy towers stand out from their glassy predecessors.
