this article is badly written and cites little sources. What's with the 'heat resistant glass'? Shouldn't it be light filtering glass rather? Or the 'stainless steel curtain wall to maintain property', maybe this refers to maintaining an aspect of cleanness? — Preceding

Great GA on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, and a good reminder of what we talk about. I slightly prefer ALT1, because most of the original ("imitated") I knew. Just waiting for the qpq. --

@
Epicgenius and
Gerda Arendt: Looking to promote this, I note the reviewer prefers ALT1 but also notes the picture would be good. However, to me, ALT0 is the hook that works with the picture (design mentioned). Do either of you have preference of hook or image?

I care more about the image than the hook. ALT1 is more dramatic, because the original just speaks about "historic landmark", not the consequence of demolition if not, - too harmless. That the building was imitated worldwide was not new for me, I knew it as iconic, about the first thing to see the first time in NYC, but if this is not known well enough, could we word something in a combination? My guess is, though, that the image will be reminder enough: "Ah, that one!" --

@
Kingsif: I don't really mind either way, but Gerda's reasoning sounds good. The building is well known in the architectural community, so its landmark status and worldwide appeal could stand out in a hook.

Picture is clear, will make more impact on architecture community, and support hook for everyone else.
