Its triangular shape, perfectly adapted to the unusual plot, distinguishes it from the rectangular forms of other New York skyscrapers.

The Flatiron Building is one of New York City's most iconic skyscrapers, built in 1902. It is characterized by its unusual triangular shape, perfectly fitted to the atypical plot at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway. The 87-meter-tall building was one of the first skyscrapers with a steel frame. Its Beaux-Arts facade is richly decorated. It is a symbol of the Art Nouveau era and one of the most recognizable buildings in the world.
