After watching these videos I have newfound respect for this building.

Also, when you look at the colors and the clean lines, not to mention its foundations, it does seem to be ahead of its time. It reminds me of some architecture from science fiction, but there are no aliens there, just a subway station underneath...

Great building!

New York Ape goes APE over the Citigroup Center!

You and a lot of people go ape over this building. It was a technological wonder when constructed. Still holds up well after almost 25 years.
