		New York is defined by its skyscrapers; it has more tall buildings than any other city in the world, and pioneered many of the construction techniques necessary to build them.
		Three factors changed the shape of skyscrapers at mid–century: the trend toward modern architecture, the use of fluorescent lights, and a zoning law, passed in 1961, that encouraged the creation of plazas at the sidewalk level, allowing skyscrapers to grow much taller and bulkier in exchange for this space.
		The fifteen skyscrapers in this section are the tallest buildings that New York City has produced, and all of them are, or were, among the hundred tallest buildings in the world.

		The city of New York is a great creation of modern American culture, but to the eyes of a medievalist the histories of the European, Byzantine, and Islamic Middle Ages are documented in its streets and buildings:
		St. Irene's building is a conventional modern barn, but the interior is a dramatic and forceful example of the sensual impact of a Byzantine church.
		A completely modern building, the New York Mosque nevertheless recalls the use of space typical of the grand mosques of Islamic, and specifically Turkish, religious architecture.
