Architectural historian Daniel Abramson focused his 2001 book Skyscraper Rivals: The AIG Building and the Architecture of Wall Street on the spectacular generation of Art Deco towers that mushroomed throughout the financial district in the 1920s. His talk will revisit the rich history his original research uncovered and reflect on the relevance of recent developments on the street. http://skyscraper.org/PROGRAMS/BOOKTALKS/DANIEL_ABRAMSON/skyscraper_rivals_revisited.htm
