Most Beautiful or Influential Skyscrapers in the World (old or new)
Give a list of your top 5 (or 10) favorite or architecturally significant or influential or iconic new or old tall buildings on the planet. Not necessarily the grandest or tallest--just the most important. If you want, you can also list your least favorite. Certainly the Woolworth & Empire State Buildings would be on all the lists. But what about the "Lipstick" building--good or bad? Willis (Sears) Tower--good or bad? The London "Shard"--good or bad? L.A. City Hall, aka the "Daily Planet"--certainly very well known--I like it--but is it good? I would say yes, for a city hall. Good. Featured in every episode of "Dragnet" and "Superman".
