Hearst Tower in New York
This is a video of the Hearst Building and the area around the building.
The six-story base of the headquarters building was commissioned by the founder, William Randolph Hearst, and awarded to the architect Joseph Urban. The building was completed in 1928[3] at a cost of $2 million and contained 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2). The original cast stone facade has been preserved in the new design as a designated Landmark site. Originally built as the base for a proposed skyscraper, the construction of the tower was postponed due to the Great Depression. The new tower addition was completed nearly eighty years later, and 2,000 Hearst employees moved in on June 26, 2006.[4]
The tower—designed by the architect Norman Foster, structurally engineered by WSP Cantor Seinuk, and constructed by Turner construction—is 46 stories tall, standing 182 meters (597 ft) with 80,000 square metres (860,000 sq ft) of office space. The uncommon triangular framing pattern (also known as a diagrid) required 9,500 metric tons (10,480 tons) of structural steel—reportedly about 20% less than a conventional steel frame. Hearst Tower was the first skyscraper to break ground in New York City after September 11, 2001. The building received the 2006 Emporis Skyscraper Award,[5] citing it as the best skyscraper in the world completed that year.
Hearst Tower is the first green high-rise office building completed in New York City, with a number of environmental considerations built into the plan. The floor of the atrium is paved with heat conductive limestone. Polyethylene tubing is embedded under the floor and filled with circulating water for cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. Rain collected on the roof is stored in a tank in the basement for use in the cooling system, to irrigate plants and for the water sculpture in the main lobby. 85% of the building's structural steel contains recycled material. Overall, the building has been designed to use 26% less energy than the minimum requirements for the city of New York, and earned a gold designation from the United States Green Building Council’s LEED certification program, becoming New York City's first LEED Gold skyscraper.
The atrium features escalators which run through a 3-story water sculpture titled Icefall, a wide waterfall built with thousands of glass panels, which cools and humidifies the lobby air. The water element is complemented by a 70-foot-tall (21 m) fresco painting titled Riverlines by artist Richard Long

Midtown Manhattan, or Midtown, represents the central lengthwise portion of the borough and island of Manhattan in New York City. Midtown is home to some of the city's most iconic buildings, including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the headquarters of the United Nations, and it contains world-renowned commercial zones such as Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and Times Square.
Midtown Manhattan is the largest central business district in the world and ranks among the most expensive and intensely used pieces of real estate in the world, and Fifth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan commands the world's highest retail rents, at US$3,000 per square foot ($32,000/m2) in 2017. While Lower Manhattan is the main financial center, Midtown is the country's largest commercial, entertainment, and media center. It is also a growing financial center, second in importance only to Lower Manhattan's Financial District in the United States.
With a record 61 million tourists in 2016, Manhattan is often described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world and the borough hosts the United Nations Headquarters. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world,
New York County is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, with a census-estimated 2016 population of 1,643,734 living in a land area of 22.83 square miles (59.13 km2), or 71,999 residents per square mile (27,799/km2), higher than the density of any individual U.S. city. On business days, the influx of commuters increases this number to over 3.9 million, or more than 170,000 people per square mile (65,600/km2). Manhattan has the third-largest population of New York City's five boroughs, after Brooklyn and Queens, and is the smallest borough in terms of land area.
Manhattan is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization: the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.
Many multinational media conglomerates are based in Manhattan, and the borough has been the setting for numerous books, films, and television shows. Manhattan is historically documented to have been purchased by Dutch colonists from Native Americans in 1626 for 60 guilders, which equals roughly US$1050 today.

William Randolph Hearst: Biography, Facts, History, Net Worth, Politics, Castle (2002)
William Randolph Hearst (/hɜrst/; April 29, 1863 – August 14, 1951) was an American newspaper publisher who built the nation's largest newspaper chain and whose methods profoundly influenced American journalism. About the book:
Hearst entered the publishing business in 1887 after taking control of The San Francisco Examiner from his father. Moving to New York City, he acquired The New York Journal and engaged in a bitter circulation war with Joseph Pulitzer's New York World that led to the creation of yellow journalism—sensationalized stories of dubious veracity. Acquiring more newspapers, Hearst created a chain that numbered nearly 30 papers in major American cities at its peak. He later expanded to magazines, creating the largest newspaper and magazine business in the world.
He was twice elected as a Democrat to the U.S. House of Representatives, and ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of New York City in 1905 and 1909, for Governor of New York in 1906, and for Lieutenant Governor of New York in 1910. Nonetheless, through his newspapers and magazines, he exercised enormous political influence, and was famously blamed for pushing public opinion with his yellow journalism type of reporting leading the United States into a war with Spain in 1898.
His life story was the main inspiration for the development of the lead character in Orson Welles's film Citizen Kane.[3] His mansion, Hearst Castle, on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean near San Simeon, California, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, was donated by the Hearst Corporation to the state of California in 1957, and is now a State Historical Monument and a National Historic Landmark, open for public tours. Hearst formally named the estate La Cuesta Encantada (The Enchanted Hill), though he typically referred to it simply as the ranch.
Citizen Kane is one of the most influential films of all time and is loosely based on Hearst's life. Welles and co-writer Herman J. Mankiewicz created Kane as a composite character of multiple men, among them Harold McCormick, Samuel Insull and Howard Hughes. Hearst, enraged at the idea of Citizen Kane being a thinly disguised and very unflattering portrait of him, used his massive influence and resources in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the film from being released—all without his ever even having seen it. Welles and the studio RKO Pictures resisted the pressure, but Hearst and his Hollywood friends ultimately succeeded in pressuring theater chains to limit showings of Citizen Kane,[59] resulting in mediocre box-office numbers and seriously harming Welles's career.
Nearly sixty years later, HBO offered a fictionalized version of Hearst's efforts in its picture RKO 281. Hearst is portrayed in the film by James Cromwell.
Citizen Kane has twice been ranked No. 1 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies (1998 and 2007).
The character of Gail Wynand in Ayn Rand's 1943 novel The Fountainhead is based on Hearst.
Hearst is a major character in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire historic novel series.
The Cat's Meow is a 2001 drama film inspired by the mysterious death of film mogul Thomas H. Ince. The film takes place aboard publisher William Randolph Hearst's yacht on a weekend cruise celebrating Ince's 42nd birthday in November 1924. Hearst is portrayed by actor Edward Herrmann.
The novel Goliath (2011) by Scott Westerfeld depicts Hearst in World War I.
Hearst is portrayed during the time of the Roscoe Arbuckle trial in the 2009 novel Devil's Garden by Ace Atkins
The character Kristjan Benediksson the main protangonist in Olaf Olafsson's 2003 novel Walking into the Night, is a fictional butler to William Randolph Hearst.

The glimpse of my USA trip!!!
A long-awaited Cinematography Show-reel. I was planning to do this for a long time. While primarily focusing on 3D animations & visual effects for the majority of my career, I am an art director and cinematographer as well. TRIP TO THE USA - A Film by Siddhartha Chowdhury
I had a beautiful experience visiting the USA. My trip started from Los Angeles, visiting the most happening place 'Hollywood'. From Los Angeles, my journey took an adventurous route (California State Route 1), where I got to explore the incredible scenery and fascinating history - which covered Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Hearst Castle, 17-Mile Drive. After a long road trip, I reached San Fransisco, where I explored beautiful Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, Lombard Street, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Then, I visited Yosemite National Park the following day - I experienced the most beautiful nature. I got to capture a lot of footages of the granite cliffs, waterfalls, clear streams, giant sequoia groves, lakes, mountains, glaciers.
From San Fransisco, I visited the most happening place in the world - New York! I decided to go camping in the Taughonnock state park, spent a couple of days there. I returned back to the New York City - where I did a lot of city tours - Statue of Liberty / Battery Park, Brooklyn Bridge, World Trade Center - 911 Memorial Park, Empire State Building, High-Line Park, Wall Street / Charging Bull, Times Square.

Window Cleaners Rescued From NYC Skyscraper (FULL VIDEO)
Don't Look Down! Cleaners Stranded
The men are pulled to safety through windows on the 44th floor of the Hearst building after their scaffold collapsed.Two window cleaners left dangling from a collapsed scaffold near the top of a 46-storey New York City skyscraper have been rescued.
Firefighters cut open windows on the 44th floor of the Hearst Tower in midtown Manhattan and pulled the men to safety.
The metal scaffold appeared to have buckled at its centre, into an elongated V shape, with both men stranded on opposite sides. The pair communicated with firefighters on the roof of the 600ft building for about an hour-and-a-half before they were rescued.
Firefighters decided cutting the windows would be safer than hoisting the men to the roof of the building.
The Hearst Tower is the world headquarters of the Hearst Corporation and the first green high-rise office building in the city.

Empire State Building Goes Green | Nightly Business Report | PBS | Planet Forward
PBS Airdate: January 20, 2011
Retrofitting the Empire State Building (NYC) for energy efficiency will pay for itself in three years. The cost savings of green building renovation.
SUSIE GHARIB: In our Planet Forward segment tonight, we head to New York City. We look at how one of the world`s most recognizable buildings is going green. The Empire State building has been a landmark for almost 80 years. But when it comes to office space, it has lots of competition in newer, more energy efficient buildings. Planet Forward`s Frank Sesno walks us through the building`s big makeover and the energy cost savings it achieved.
FRANK SESNO, PLANET FORWARD: What`s old is new again: in this case, possibly the most iconic structure in the world and where innovation now meets energy efficiency and the New York state of mind. Devin Greene, and Kristina Sgueglia, Plant Forward students at the George Washington University heard the Empire State building was getting new windows, so they hit the streets. Just how many windows are there?
SURACE: We took the glass out. We pulled it all apart. We vigorously cleaned it. And we did something else. We re-used all the glass in the building. We took those dual-paned windows and made them R-8. The R value is a technical measurement of the resistance to heat flow so the higher the number, the better. Higher R value windows are built in a unique way. They have multiple chambers separated by suspended film. That clear film goes in. It goes in with a special set of spacers and other sealants. Then, we fill it with gas. That further improves the R value to get all the way to 400 percent improvement.
SESNO: Surace says the renovation can save about $410,000 a year in energy costs.
SCOTT BITTLE, POLICY ANALYST, PUBLIC AGENDA: Commercial buildings are about 18 percent of our total energy use, so it`s a pretty significant slice. The median life span of a commercial building in the United States is something like 70 years. We have to look at things like retrofitting, because we already have a lot of our commercial buildings and we want to keep using them.
SESNO: Surace`s work was part of a $550 million renovation, all of it undertaken because it promises to pay for itself in only three years. Saving green dollars by reducing energy consumption is appealing. But will this type of expensive retrofitting make financial sense for everyone? Is it even possible?
BITTLE: There are something like 4.8 million commercial buildings in the United States, and as of 2007, I think only 4,000 of them met the energy star requirements. All buildings together-- residential and commercial-- actually produce more greenhouse gases in the United States than vehicles do.

See Inside Large Mausoleums Built for Famous Americans
This video, produced by Rome Monument, showcases large fancy mausoleums designed and built as monuments for the entombment of famous Americans. View pictures of the free-standing stone buildings and look inside these famous family mausoleums. Find out how these famous tombs and interment spaces were designed and constructed, how much it cost to build these historic mausoleums, and what it costs to build a beautiful private family mausoleum in 2018.
The Lincoln Tomb State Historic Site (Lincoln Tomb) is the final resting place of Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary, and three of their four sons. It was built in the 1860's and is located in Springfield, IL. The original cost of the mausoleum, not including the statues and landscaping, was about $71,000.
Grant's Tomb is the final resting place of General Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia Dent Grant. The granite and marble structure cost $600,000 to construct and is located in New York City. It was designed by architect John Duncan and is considered the largest mausoleum in North America.
The McKinley National Memorial (William McKinley Tomb) is the final resting place of William McKinley, 25th president of the United States, his wife and two daughters. The large pink granite building is located in Canton, Ohio, and was dedicated in 1907. It was designed by Harold Van Buren Magonigle and cost about $600,000 to build.
The Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii, built between 1863-1865, is the burial place of Hawaiian royalty, originally built for members of the Kamehameha and Kalakaua Dynasties. It is located in Honolulu and was designed by architect Theodore Heuck. The cemetery is the only royal cemetery within the U.S.. The cost of construction is estimated to be just over $15,000.
Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun is a mausoleum and commemorative tower and chapel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Rogers (1879 –1935) was an American stage and motion picture actor and entertainer. Designed by Charles E. Thomas, the shrine is also a tomb for the remains of Spencer Penrose and his wife Julie. The mausoleum, completed in 1937, cost about $250,000 or over 4 million dollars in today’s currency.
The Lillian Russell Moore Mausoleum is located in Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh, PA.. Dubbed The American Beauty, Russell was one of the most famous American actresses and singers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for her beauty and style, as well as for her voice. When Lillian died in 1922, her husband commissioned the construction of the mausoleum with the simple epitaph, “The world is better for her having lived”.
Rome Monument, headquartered in Pittsburgh, is a mausoleum designer, construction company, contractor and builder with over 80 years of experience as a design/builder of private family mausoleums. We build single, 2 person, and family/estate mausoleums for 3 or more interments for both traditional and cremation burials. Mausoleums are free-standing cemetery buildings that contain the grave, tomb or burial chamber of the deceased. A large mausoleum can also incorporate other elements, such as a chapel or a niche for cremated remains. Our mausoleums can be adorned with beautiful custom designs, etchings, engravings, bas reliefs, statues, 3D carvings, and symbols and imagery that convey the specific nationality or religion of the deceased.
