A skyscraper is a boast in glass and steel.
The skyscraper - any building over seven stories really - will come to be seen as an experimental building type that doesn't work well in an energy-starved economy.
[My mother] worked in the Seagram's Building; it's kind of an iconic '60s skyscraper on a floor so high that your ears popped. And all the women - the whole thing was so very Mad Men, very glamorous.
When the film was presented in New York, the distributor reproduced the fountain scene on a billboard as high as a skyscraper. My name was in the middle in huge letters, Fellini's was at the bottom, very tiny. Now the name of Fellini has become very great, mine very little.

A skyscraper is a machine that makes the land pay.
The people are starving. They need food; they need medicine; they need education. They do not need a skyscraper to house the ruling party and a 24-hour TV station.
Do you have to make me feel like there's nothing left of me? You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am, like I am made of glass, like I am made of paper. Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground like a Skyscraper.
A great city with water barriers and no bridges is like a skyscraper with no elevators. Bridges are a monument to progress.
American megalomania is largely responsible for the growth of the Skyscraper School.
I am sure that as a woman I can do a very good skyscraper.
The age of the skyscraper is gone. This is the age of the housing project. Which is always a prelude to the age of the cave.
Our concern is not how to worship in the catacombs but how to remain human in the skyscrapers.
Doing a house is so much harder than doing a skyscraper.
Data isn't information, any more than fifty tons of cement is a skyscraper.
With everything that I design, from a church to a plate to skyscraper to a spoon. I am always thinking about voluptuous volumes and spaces.
I mean, I know thousands of people died and everything, but if it happened today, there's just no excuse. They'd be much safer inside a movie theater watching one of my movies instead of burning alive in a collapsing skyscraper.
the search for the ultimate skyscraper goes on. . . . At worst, overbuilding will make urban life unbearable. At best, we will go out in a blaze of style.
To me, you can't have style without being inspired. When I design a collection, I am inspired by so many things. The color of a flower. The shape of a butterly's wing. The juxtaposition of an old tenement building next to a shiny new skyscraper.
The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.
