Skyscrapers You Most Love/Admire in Your City or Other Cities
I'll start. I live in L.A. and San Diego.
To name a few, I like these buildings (I do have a bias to the old neo-gothics and art decos): Pittsburgh: Cathedral of Learning Chicago: Civic Opera Bldg., Wrigley, Chicago Temple Bldg., Carbide & Carbon Bldg., Lake Point Tower, Board of Trade, Mather Tower, John Hancock tower, Marina City twins New York: Empire State, Chrysler, Woolworth, Flatiron, Waldorf Astoria Buffalo: City Hall Columbus: Leveque-Lincoln Tower Cleveland: Terminal Tower Cincinatti: Carew Tower Houston: Williams Tower (almost like an updated Empire State-like design without the spire) Kansas City: KC Power & Light Bldg. Baltimore: Emerson (Bromo Seltzer) tower, impossibly skinny Detroit: Penobscot, Guardian, Fisher Bldgs Minneapolis: Foshay Tower L.A: City Hall, Century City Theme towers (like the unusual triangular design of the 44 story twins), Eastern Columbia Bldg. and the long gone Richfield Petroleum tower, DWP (iconic mid century modern--wish they still lit it up at night) San Francisco: McAllister Tower; Mark Hopkins, Russian Bldg., Coit Tower, Shell Oil bldg., Crown Zellerbach bldg., Clay Jones apts., Bellaire Tower, Humboldt Bank & Whittell Bank bldgs. (both impossibly skinny), Long Beach: Villa Riviera Apts, International Tower (unusual cylindrical design) San Diego: County Hall of Administration; Pacific Gate Seattle: L.C. Smith tower, Space Needle Moscow: Moscow State University ("Stalinesque-gothic" architecture at its best) Chartes: Chartes Cathedral Koln: Koln Cathedral Ulm: Ulm Cathedral Cairo: the Pyramids..the 1st skyscrapers |
