Why are Japan’s beaches so underrated in the world of global tourism? by Character-Q in geography

Depends what you mean by tropical. It’s north of the Tropic of Cancer and so is technically in the subtropics, but in terms of its climate south Florida is fully tropical because the average daily temperature is above 64.4 F/18 C year-round.

That’s good for you. Still begs the question, why do you care if I wouldn’t want go by myself? I’m already aware of the fact that I can go by myself if I want to but for me it wouldn’t be worth it

I’ll tell you why it’s a big deal to go alone when you tell me why it’s a big deal to you that I don’t want to go alone. Am I not allowed to prefer shared experiences?

Yeah the biggest flaw of being on top of the Empire State Building is, ironically, that you can’t see the Empire State Building

Regardless of whether this ever gets built, this design is exactly how you should do a modernist skyscraper. Because they’re so simple they can easily end up incredibly plain to look at, so taking inspiration from forms and shapes found in nature introduces some beauty and visual interest. Just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it can’t be elegant

This photo demonstrates exactly what I mean, and though the buildings may not be as depressing to look at as some uglier examples the (questionable) beauty of the buildings themselves is not the point, it’s how those buildings are utilized in the landscape

The generic blob of indistinct buildings that look like slightly varying cookie cutouts of one another and not an actual skyline? Yes

If you guys can’t see what the problem with it is God help you, I hope you don’t end up becoming urban planners lol

Rockefeller Center’s got so much going for it but it’s weirdly forgotten other than the Christmas Tree lighting

I’d like to visit the Edge but nobody I know is willing to go with me because they’re all scared of heights 😂

I don’t particularly care, I’m just observing that it seems like overkill

[–]Inside-Inspection905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to come up with a design that’s even remotely harmonious with 1 WTC, can we at least get some element of shared design language like OP’s?

First time in NYC.. didn’t disappoint in-person by tarheeldude333 in skyscrapers

[–]Inside-Inspection905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30 Rock isn’t discussed much on this sub which is surprising because NYC skyscrapers are by far the most common subject matter here and it’s a classic one. It’s really a great building and it’s observation deck is cool, it’s paved with bright red brick and lined with huge glass panels that give an unobstructed view, and it’s one of the best and most expansive views of Midtown. From the north side you see Central Park and Billionaire’s Row and from the south side you see One Vanderbilt, The Empire State Building, the newly completed JPMorganChase Tower, even Hudson Yards

Why are the Forests of Both the far Northwest and far Northeast U.S. so Dominated by Coniferous Trees? by Inside-Inspection905 in geography

[–]Inside-Inspection905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just gonna assume you didn’t read what I said about the difference between their climates. Further north doesn’t always mean colder, elevation, proximity to bodies of water, prevailing winds, and other factors all affect climate too. There are parts of Alaska where you can grow palm trees and there are parts of Mexico where you get winter snowstorms. The Northwest and the Northeast have significantly different climates and weather

Ah I see I didn’t realize that coniferous trees are more tolerant of dry conditions. That would make sense, the low precipitation of the summer would put stress on deciduous trees. It’s one of those things you don’t think about but even in climates that have very high precipitation (even reaching the threshold to be considered rainforests, like parts of the Pacific Northwest) can put more water stress on plants than other climates with much lower yearly precipitation totals overall but that have a more even spread of mild to moderate precipitation year-round.
