Yeah. I remember the first time I went to Dubai and I was watching them dredging out and creating these man-made islands. And I remember somebody once saying to me there, an architect, an architect actually who collaborated with us on our tower in Chicago, He said that the only thing that limited what an architect could do in that area was gravity and imagination. So it's, you know.
It definitely is. And bridges, I mean, some of the iconic designs in our country are incredible bridges.

I think the water is an unbelievable feature of the New York skyline as you see the island on approach. And oftentimes you'll see like in these images, you'll see these towers reflecting off of the water surface. So I think there's something very beautiful and unique about that. When I look at New York, I see this unbelievable sort of tapestry of different types of architecture.

So you have the Gothic form as represented by buildings like the Woolworth Building, or you'll have Art Deco as represented by buildings like 40 Wall Street or the Chrysler Building or Rockefeller Center. And then you'll have these unbelievable super modern examples or modernist examples like Lever House and Seagram's House. So you have all of these different styles.

And I think to build in New York, You're really building the best of the best. So nobody's giving New York their sort of second-rate work. And especially when a lot of those buildings were built, there was this incredible competition happening between New York and Chicago for kind of dominance of the sky. Right.

And for who could create the greatest skyline, this sort of race to the sky when skyscrapers were first being built, starting in Chicago and then New York, surpassing that in terms of height, at least, with the Empire State Building.

I think it's hard to look at something like the Tribune Tower and not be completely in awe. Like this is an unbelievable building. Look at those buttresses and you've got gargoyles hanging off of it. And, you know, this style was reminiscent of the cathedrals of Europe, which was very kind of in vogue in like the 1920s here in America. Actually, I mentioned the Woolworth Tower before.
