Hello Rufus, I am the one who has created the Lego Chrysler Building entry. I have noticed that an old image appears in the index. Since I have created new ones a couple of days ago, could you please change it by using one of the new ones, which I find quite better and appealing. Thank you a lot. Sess

It's so big and beautiful! I love the two cats in the stairs!

So beautiful is it! Excellent replica of this cathedral!

That is moctown! So detailed!!!

Really impressive! Would be possible if the the spire was green like in real?

It's really good looking! Good luck in the contest!

New Pictures with a better quality! Is it better than before?

Hello Moctown! The image of the real Chrysler Building that I put is misleading ... But I really respected the proportions! Are you participating to the contest?

Thanks for all your comments! It's really encouraging... For the size of my representation, it's better if it's smaller than the Lego Empire State Building, like in real! I wanted a simple and a recognizable representation of the Chrysler Building.

The Villa Rotunda? A masterpiece in the real life! And the Lego Villa Rotunda? A masterpiece in Lego!!! Excellent work!

Hello everybody, I present you my entry for the Architecture Contest, the "Art Deco" skyscraper Chrysler Building, in the Landmark series. This replica has about the same size as the official set of the Empire State Building. Some facts. It's located in New York City, in the Turtle Bay, on the East side of Manhattan. This 319 meter high building was built in only two years (1928-1930), it was the world's tallest building for some 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. The Chrysler Building is one of the best known examples of Art Deco architecture and is considered by many contemporary architects to be one of New York's finest buildings. The building was built and designed specifically for the car manufacturer Chrysler, but this corporation didn't pay directly for its construction. Its founder, Walter P. Chrysler, financed it himself. It ranked ninth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture in 2007.
