ARCHITECTURAL TREASURES OF THE ABANDONED PHILADELPHIA

Philadelphia is still nice and cozy, but, as it turned out, not everywhere. In some places it is so severe that you do not want to get out of the car once again and even sitting inside you do not feel very comfortable. Landscapes around remind us more of the end of the world than about the bright future, and if you suddenly have to go somewhere, then every walk ends with a meeting with an aggressive asshole. It turned out that there are areas in Philadelphia that are no longer in New York and which are described on the Internet as words like ghettos and slums. Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the sixth-most populous city in the United States, with an estimated population of 1,567,872. Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the United States, 1790–1800, while the Federal City was under construction in the District of Columbia.

Acesta a apărut în anii 1930 și se deosebește prin formele rotunjite și aerodinamice, liniile lungi orizontale și uneori elemente nautice. Primele clădiri streamline au fost desprinse din lucrările artiștilor Bauhaus, iar clădirea considerată ca fiind prima de acest gen este anume Mossehaus. Stilul a fost încorporarea luminii electrici în structura arhitecturală. Aceste elemente erau specifice pentru pacheboturile vremii, mai cu seamă SS Normandie.
