New York Architecture is a dynamic fusion of styles and eras, renowned for its skyline that chronicles the evolution of the city and its spirit. It encompasses a wide range of architectural styles, from the Federal and Greek Revival styles of the early 19th century, the Beaux-Arts and Art Deco masterpieces of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to the modernist and postmodernist skyscrapers that have come to symbolize the city globally. Iconic structures such as the Flatiron Building, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center punctuate the city’s skyline, each representing a distinct period in architectural design.
