Battle of Twins in NYC: A Story of Egos.

Doubtless, many of you are already acquainted with the particulars surrounding the Solow and the Grace, but for those who are not, I believe you'll find it a rather interesting story.

Always thought about the similar nature of these towers.

Truth be told, I discovered that both were Bunshaft's work—well, in essence—because I've always been rather partial to the Solow; especially as it marvelously exemplifies how the mere disposition of materials can alter even how we perceive the building's very form. And upon doing a bit of research, that was the first thing I found. And yes... that does explain almost everything between those two.

Solche Projekte brauchen oft Zeit, und Fortschritte wirken von außen manchmal langsam. Dennoch summieren sich kleine Entwicklungen langfristig. Ich verfolge solche Updates gern, weil sie zeigen, wie Pläne Schritt für Schritt Realität werden. Zwischendurch entspanne ich mich mit etwas Einfachem wie Book of Ra spielen.
