Architect Breaks Down Secret Details Of The Chrysler Building | Architectural Digest

Woolworth Building

Such a great explanation, when the first time I came to nyc, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought that The Chrysler Building was The Empire Building.Because it's so stand out of the other buildings ,even The Empire Building isn't as beautiful as Chrysler ,but of course my personal opinion.

I think we need a whole series of Art Deco building in NYC

Thank you for an architectural close-up tour of the Chrysler Building! A landmark so famous that Armageddon and Godzilla both featured its fictional destruction ☄️

Art Deco is beautiful. Modern buildings are ugly and embarrassment of how far we have fallen in creating works of beauty.

Mr. Wyetzner knows so much about the NY skyscrapers and the Art Deco style, yet his office only produces these boring modernist structures. Why?

As a born and bred NYer, the Chrysler building is my favorite. I feel that the Empire State is a boy, and Chrysler building is a girl. They’re a classic NY power couple. And the lady is sooooo glamorous.

I know nothing about architecture, but I can listen to him talk about it all day long

Amazing how they built these awesome iconic blogs in the 30s

To me the crystal is the king of NY just an absolute gem

Wonderful narraTion by you sir

Iconic - one of the most overused words in the English language. Otherwise very interesting.

please keep it coming Micheal Wyetzner, I knew nothing about architecture, but Im learning so much with your videos🎉🎉

My grandfather always said “the Chrysler building is too pointy”

My favourite building in NYC

Well done, beautiful building

Back when some things were built for beauty, then function.

Thanks for an enjoyable review of this magnificent icon.

Wasn’t 40 wall tallest for shortest 2 months 😵‍💫

Check out the Buffalo City building which is also Art Deco!

Wie fühlen Sie sich alles Sozialismus aus Frankreich bitteschön..............................................?

When America was great - sadly.

The most beautiful skyscraper ever built? - Yes, I think so.

It's subtle, but if you listen closely, this guy has whatever Christopher Walken's accent is.

The future was supposed to be Art Ddco

It's so beautiful. Beauty in architecture is extremely underrated.

The care and imagination which went into building this incredible structure is off the scale. NYC simply wouldn't be NYC without the Chrysler.

The Chrysler building has always been my favorite skyscraper.

What a wonderful video. The beautiful ornate crown of the Chrysler Building somehow has a resemblance to the pinnacle crowns of the Petronas Twin Towers in KL, Malaysia.

It's wonderful in comparison to the bland skyscrapers built now.

amazing

I was listening but not watching when he said 'World Trade Center' and thought I had slipped timelines

I love the Chrysler building so much.. the art deco style is one of my favourites and an architectural design that can’t be replicated today. Every detail is stunning.

Chervons & lighting bolts are used in almost every culture.

How about the Kodak Building in Rochester?

This is the type of expert I love to listen to

Great show!

I love art deco style in all it's iterations, and this narrator, who just nails it.

One of these days, I’m going to go inside this gorgeous building. I’ve always loved it.

Track this dude’s origin and we’ll find Christopher Walken’s voice origin

LIES!! This building is a Tartarian structure.

Tartarian Empire building, build by the previous civilization

Enjoy your videos. Thanks!

Much appreciated if you can do the Woolworth building next. It’s a super underrated building.
