Skyscrapers and other tall buildings have become the main symbols of modern cities. This also applies to New York, which is one of the most visited destinations in the world with the greatest architectural attractions in the world. Vasily Klyukin, however, went a step further in the design and imagined a slightly modified and even bolder image of Manhattan.

Rides in the panoramic elevator are always something special. This is especially true if we rise above the city, as is the case with the 94-story skyscraper One World Trade Center, also known as the Freedom Tower, located in New York's Manhattan district (it stands on the twin towers).
