Talk:Seagram Building/Archive 1

Untitled
The period in which the seagram building was built.

I'm pretty sure I saw a documentary that said at the time this building was the most expensive skyscraper in the world (per sq. metre) because it decided to use so little of the space in which it could build. Anybody know anything about this sort of thing?
