I had lived in NYC for a year, during that time I fell in love with the noise and rush that this city leaves in.
It has one of the most diverse architecture on the planet with a lot of “firsts” and “bests” at the time for almost of 200 years in a row.
Please find my video about this design and a map of the ring with impressive facts about iconic buildings.
