It goes the other way around. Russian
architects used to copy, adding some
local flavour, American highrisers.

7 World Trade July 22nd, 2004, 06:50 AM the gold crown is a classic, even though it's not the original crown of the building. i also like how the building looks really architectually balanced; the shape is perfect and looks great from many angles.

Tazmaniadevil July 31st, 2004, 10:19 AM 8.5 That building next to it should be torn down. It ruins Madison Square! NY Life and Metropolitan Life, plus the little NYS Court Building between them, are classic.
Jules July 31st, 2004, 06:46 PM I hate the top. 5.
