Manhattan architectural buildings are turning more into slender and tall buildings. It is a new trend. Demand for slender and tall real estates are increasing amid the wealthy individuals who are willing to spend extraordinary amount for a structure that is built with stronger material, sky-high structure, and modern design than ever before. But who are we to judge whether practice of such is pointless or wasteful? When was the last time you thought of efficiency and effectiveness when it came to shopping a “luxurious goods?” Obviously, Tiffany isn’t using a different silver or gold when they make their necklaces and rings. But we purchase their silver rings when we can get a pound of silver with equivalent money. We buy wallets, coats, and bags from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Ferragamo, and many more not because their materials are exquisitely better. We buy them because they are Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Ferragamo.

Manhattan projects are promoting a practice that actually is practical for the sake of limited space in the City of New York. By luxuriating every square inch of Manhattan, people can more effectively and efficiently fit more dwellers into the small island. Why make a fuss when people are willing to pay absence amount of money for a tiny studio that provides a great panoramic view of the City and the river and transportation readily available 24/7 right by your tightly guarded building entrance? Trend of building slender, tall, and modern is a fair practice as long as there is a reasonable level of demand that wouldn’t leave hundreds of apartments in the City vacated.

The psychology of wanting slender and tall buildings is like normal people wanting to become model-like. But who are we to judge whether it’s unhealthy and anorexic when people pursue happiness by obtaining that body structure or architecture.
