History of World Architecture in New York City Buildings

The urban development of New York can be considered an encyclopedia of world architecture; for the almost four-century history of the city, buildings were erected on its territory, reflecting the entire history of construction from antiquity to the present day. In the five districts of the “capital of the world”, the main architectural styles, as well as their variants, are widely and varied: Greek, Romanesque, Gothic, Italian Renaissance architecture, Baroque, the style of the Second Empire (Beaux-Arts), neoclassicism and, of course, the “high modernism” of the first half of the XX century.

The striking similarity of some buildings to the famous monuments of Europe reflects the historical continuity of the American school of architecture and a deep understanding of cultural tradition. The tour can be interesting for both sophisticated connoisseurs of beauty and curious travelers interested in architecture and construction.
