360, though. It's one of my favorite buildings in Austin period. Top to bottom it's done right. The only thing I'd change about it is that I'd find a way to light the metal part of the spire. Other than that, it's one of my faves and I suspect it'll stay that way for a long time.

I agree with both your points Keven. To point one, that building on Barton Springs will always be my least favorite, Third and Shoal is waaay better.
Point two, I think 360 is my sentimental favorite. I watched it grow floor by floor from the web cam, from a baby to adulthood. It was the start of things to come. Tall, well lit, tastefully done and stylish. It still reminds me of a cheese grater, but fortunately, I like cheese, and cheese graters. I think 360 and later Spring brought some legitimacy to our earlier skyline. Really sad to see it covered up by less attractive buildings from so many angles.
