In Highrises Art Deco, digital artist Chris Hytha has exploited drone photography to create stunning views of skyscrapers across the United States. His images are paired with histories researched and written by skyscraper historian Mark Houser. Join us for a free virtual program on August 13 at 6pm to take a closer look at the character and craftsmanship of Art Deco towers across America through the drone’s-eye views of the Highrises Collection. Hytha and Houser have traveled coast to coast to document noteworthy landmarks of the Jazz Age, focusing on lesser-known architectural marvels beyond the boundaries of New York City and Chicago. Learn how Hytha creates his unique high-res images and hear Houser’s stories of the local tycoons and architects who dramatically altered their city skylines.
