The owners forced them to live in isolated communities near workshops and forced them to buy goods with high interests. The cities were poorly constructed and crowded with people and residents.

The Chrysler Building, New York, is one of the most admired Art Deco style skyscrapers in history. This essay will analyse the Chrysler Building contextually and evaluate the applicability of the theoretical features of the early Modern Movement, as described by Paul Greenhalgh, to it in an attempt to determine exactly what it is that makes the Chrysler Building the icon that it is today. Historical Background The Chrysler Building has a rich historical background from which it originates.

In 1791 the location and idea was decided with

The economy was booming but the political and economic policies that promoted it failed to adequately address the emerging problems.

As a result of modern developing technologies, roads and railway routes were built in-between cities. This helped for the trading activities and exchange of goods and raw materials from one place to another. Also some historians argue that the trading routes were built because for trading the excessive productions by the machines. So there were bargaining among the cities and for that they made the routes. With the invention of steam power, invention of transporting using steam engine also started.

Often nicknamed the “Freedom Tower,” the 104-story skyscraper is made of 2,000 pieces of prismatic glass and stands at 1,776 feet tall, its height being a subtle tribute to the year that America won its independence (Fowler). The observation deck, at over 1,250 feet, offers dazzling views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, New Jersey, and beyond, allowing the tourist to experience a sense of unity: the city is one, the nation is one, and the world is one. The new tower continues the old’s symbolic representation of world peace while soaring above the ruins of a catastrophic day in American

The Founding Fathers created this great nation. When they did, they needed a foundation, a great strong city to start the pyramid of the future world power it is today. That foundation is a mid-eastern city called Washington District of Columbia, or D.C. for short. The story of this fine city is a long one, filled with history and events, which changed the world we know today. As our nation’s capital, the history of Washington, D.C. is important from the location, to the layout of the city, and the creation of its monuments and museums, which all give testimony to our great nation.

Between the years 1870 and 1900 the people of the United States lived through a period of great change. Not only did they witness technological advances that would change their daily lives, they also saw new laws and organizations formed. All of this was done in hopes of improving the country.

Economically, there were positive impacts on American society due to the industrialization and technological changes that the nation was undergoing.
